<p>Ok, I'm sorta in a bind here. I honestly don't have many valuable teachers to choose from, and am going to have to bend a few rules on recommendation restrictions anyway...its juts a quesiton of which ones. I know 1 rec will come from my 10th grade history teacher, who is also my coach. We've known each other for 4 years and his rec is very good.</p>
<p>Now, for EA, I had my 10th grade physics teacher fill out my rec. I have no idea how good it was, but for some schools obviously 2 soph year recs is bad. Now, I am wondering, for HYPS and Duke, would it be wise to have my current AP Music Theory teacher write the rec instead of having my physics teacher send his. The music teacher has taught me for 3 years now since sophomore year (theory I and theory II), and I feel he really likes me. My only fear is that a music theory rec might not be taken as seriously as a physics rec. Is it ok, since he is in fact my AP teacher?</p>
<p>Thanks for your advice, and keep in mind I am asking especially for HYPS and Duke. </p>
<p>harvard "prefers" 11th and 12th grade
yale strongly recommends 11th/12th
Pton asks for 10th/11th/ and 12th and says music theory is ok
Stanford, the most restrictive, says 11th/12th, and does not list music theoyr as an acceptable rec
Duke asks for 11th and 12th</p>
<p>Thanks agian!!</p>
