Reference Letter

Applying to College
1

<p>So I checked the UChicago Website, and they say that they require two reference letters, one from Math/Science teacher and another one from Social Studies/English Teacher.</p>

<p>I really like Math and science so i've been actively participated only in those classes.
However, I hated socials and english that my marks are not even that good and I don't think those teachers won't even like to write me those letters...</p>

<p>WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Does anyone know any other schools that require two reference letters from different teachers like UChicago?</p>

<p>MIT has the same requirement. Princeton also asks for recs from teachers of two different areas.</p>

<p>The best answer? </p>

<p>Chicago is not the school for you. All students, regardless of intended major, undergo a hefty core curriculum that really hones in on reading and writing skills. If you don't like history and English now, I can promise that humanities and social sciences will be even less pleasant.</p>

<p>There's a reason Chicago asks for an English/history teacher rec as well as a math/science one :-)</p>

<p>Would a rec from a Spanish teacher be considered humanities? What area does a Finance class go under? Yes, my school has a Finance class.</p>

<p>if you are asking specifically for UC, the Spanish teacher does not count as humanities. I attened an open house, and remember the questions being asked to the admissions officer.
don't know about other schools or finance class</p>
