<p>I currently have 4 letters of recommendations. One is from my Geometry and PreCalculus, another is from my AP Calculus and Trig teacher, another is from my AP Writing Teacher, and my last is my counselor's.</p>
<p>THe problem is that my AP Writing teacher's recommendation is very weak, but my 2 math ones are over the top, in my opinion.</p>
<p>Would it be a bad idea to send 2 math recommendations? I also took only 2 SAT II's and both of them were math.</p>
<p>Colleges would think that I'm not a versatile person if I do that right? What should I do? Thanks!</p>

<p>This doesn't count as a teacher recommendation letter. It's a counselor or advisor recommendation letter and will probably be part of the secondary school report. Just to clarify.</p>

<p>Did you take Math I and II? If so, why would you do that? I don't think colleges count them as two different tests because II is basically I with a few extra topics slapped on.</p>

<p>Did you read these recs? With or without your teachers' permission? Usually teachers don't let students read their rec letters (hence the FERPA waiver we sign on the Common App).</p>
<p>And did you know your AP Writing teacher would write you a "weak" rec? Why did you decide to ask that teacher to write you a letter in the first place?</p>

<p>Unless the letters are drastically different in their content and an aspect of your personality would be missing from your application if you didn't send one or the other, I'd say don't send both. However, this is probably unethical because you already asked both math teachers to write you a rec, and picking and choosing between them doesn't truly reflect your teachers' opinion of you — again, see the FERPA waiver point I made. </p>
<p>I'd have to advise you to talk with your counselor about this, because if you read the recs without your teachers' permission after having signed the FERPA waiver, there may be some bigger things at stake here.</p>
<p>I didn't sign the FERPA waiver on the Common App, and the teachers gave me permission to read them because they wanted for me to check anything that they might've left out. </p>
<p>I go to an extremely small school (~90 graduating class). Also, I took 2 maths because I didn't know what else to take. I didn't feel prepared to take any subject tests except for math, and I already paid for 2.</p>
<p>My friend asked my AP Writing to write her one and she said that it came out really well, but when I got mine, it was very brief and undetailed.</p>
<p>ask another teacher --it does not have to be an AP class--just pick a teacher, not in the sciences, who thinks you are great. But you are right to ask if this will look like you are not well rounded--unless you are applying to certain schools.</p>
