<p>Do schools have any specific requirements for teacher recommendations? As in teachers in certain subjects or senior/junior year teachers being preferred?
Also, is one allowed to send an additional recommendation by a non-teacher? If so, do all schools allow this?</p>
<p>I want to get recommendations from Senior and Junior year Economics teacher and either my Junior and Senior year French teacher or my Freshman and Sophomore year Literature teacher. Which one would be best?</p>

<p>On a second note, I think you should upgrade from Windows98. It’s been almost 15 years, brah.</p>
<p>Now that just makes me look nuts.</p>

<p>Schools that require LOR’s have different specifications. Many want letters from teachers in two different subjects and some (e.g., Chicago) require on LOR each from a science/math and non-science/math teacher. Some will not accept LOR’s from freshman-year teachers. Many insist on only academic course teachers and some of these exclude foreign language teachers. You’ll have to check with your target schools to see what the restrictions are.</p>
<p>It might be possible to collect a letter from each of your three teachers and send them out as required.</p>
<p>Colleges generally discourage extra LOR’s, but if a non-teacher offer beneficial insights that cannot be found in your “official” letters (and not simply repeat what a great person you are) it is worth considering.</p>
<p>oh ok. There is my Junior and Senior year English Teacher. But I liked my lit teacher way more.</p>
<p>Your lit teacher might work, especially if s/he taught you as a sophomore. Again, check the requirements of your target schools.</p>

<p>By Chicago, do you mean uchicago? I can’t find anywhere that claims how uchicago wants a LOR from a math/science teacher and a nonmath/nonscience teacher…</p>
