<p>When schools say they want two teacher recommendations "from two different academic subjects/areas", does that mean that I am not allowed to get a physics teacher and a chemistry teacher?</p>
<p>That means they prefer from 2 different of the 5 core areas: math, science, social studies, English and foreign language. You could do a chem and a physics, but that would be both science and it sounds from your post like this school would prefer recs from teachers in two different areas.</p>
