<p>What subjects exactly fall under "academic subjects"? </p>
<p>They give examples, but I imagine the subjects aren't limited to those. </p>
<p>I want to give an Art Teacher Rec for most of my schools because I think art is probably one of my strongest points, but most schools say "academic subjects" for recs and don't accept Common Apps Art Supplement (which asks for an art instructors rec) and don't solicit extra recs. (And I'm applying as an Art Major to most schools; i.e. Yale, Cornell, Princeton, NYU)</p>
<p>Can I still ask my Art Teacher for a rec for the Common App form?</p>
<p>Academic subjects mean english, math, science, social studies, or language. I think that really is all it’s limited to. I’m not sure about supplemental recs (if the school takes them than definitely send it as that) but I don’t think you can get away with an art teacher as an academic subject.</p>
<p>I’ve heard from my art teacher that she’s written recommendations for students for Harvard and Carnegie Mellon, both of which (to the extent of my knowledge/research) don’t ask/take extra recs from students sending in an art supplement/portfolio. </p>
<p>Which would mean her rec was submitted as one of the two for Common App? I’m just getting a lot of contradicting info that I really don’t know what is what. I tried asking my counselor but she didn’t have anything much to help. </p>
<p>I guess it’d make more sense to ask: Has anyone sent in an art teacher rec as a Common App teacher rec?</p>
<p>Art supplement has now become an essential part, if someone has mentioned about it on the future plan section; almost all the universities demand it .</p>
