Stanford College Recommendation - Does computer science count as math?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>In my school, computer science, in this case AP JAVA, falls under math. On the Stanford applying guide, it says the following: "Stanford requests that you submit two, and no more than two, teacher evaluations from teachers who have taught you in grades 11 and/or 12 in two different subject areas from among the following: English, mathematics, science, foreign language, and history/ social studies."</p>

<p>Can I submit the computer science recommendation to Stanford?</p>

<p>I’m not 100% sure on this but I know it has been asked many times so it shouldn’t be hard to verify/refute but: </p>

<p>no i do not believe so.</p>

<p>For MIT, computer science recommendation falls under “Math/Science”…</p>

<p>this supports getting a CompSci rec although its not definitive, hmm i cant seem to find the last place where i read this question and it was answered…</p>

<p>The Stanford Admissions office told me that it defers to how the class is treated by the high school in terms of what department it is in.</p>
