<p>MIT's website says that I need a recommendation from a math/science teacher and one from a humanities teacher.</p>
<p>Do I have to get one from a humanities teacher? Would one from technology or English be fine?</p>
<p>Yes, you must have one rec from a humanities teacher. English teacher is perfect. But I am not sure about technology teacher? How heavy/significant was the technology class? More than math and science class?</p>
<p>We just discuss how tech affects our world today.</p>
<p>Do you mean you use the rec. from the technology teacher to meet the humanities rec. requirement?</p>
<p>I’ve always interpreted “humanities” in this context to be a teacher who teaches a subject that, if it were taught at MIT, would belong in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, e.g. those on [this</a> list](<a href=“http://shass.mit.edu/fields]this”>http://shass.mit.edu/fields).</p>
<p>So by my criterion, English would be fine, and so would technology (as long as it sounds like a similar class to one that would be taught in the Science, Technology, and Society department).</p>
<p>Does it have to be a high school teacher or can it be a college teacher too?</p>
