<p>I have one rec already from an English teacher, and I figure I'll get another one as well. My question is this- Is it better to get my second recommendation from a Math/Science teacher or should I just go with the teacher that knows me best and would most likely write the best rec (Social Studies teacher)?</p>
<p>Generally it is better to get a rec from the teacher that knows you better & loves you more. But some schooles require one rec to be from math/science, and one from humanities/ soc studies teachers. So, I guess, it depends on where are you applying.</p>
<p>What about for common app? Just the two best?</p>
<p>yes .</p>
<p>Common App should have "school info" when you're choosing your colleges. They should detail how many recs you should have and which type (science or english or counselor, etc). I would recommend getting a science/math one. Shows a somewhat well-rounded person or those who TRY to excel at both.</p>
