<p>I'm applying to Georgetown's Walsh School of Foreign Service, and they require that you teacher recommendations be from "a teacher of your choice in a core academic subject." I was planning on asking my French teacher because I have had her for four years and I believe she knows me best out of all my teachers and will give me a more comprehensive recommendation. Anyways, does French count as a "core subject" or not? </p>
<p>Yes. Core subjects are English, math, science, history/social sciences, and foreign languages.</p>
<p>It depends on whether the school consider 4 core or 5 core. Foreign language is considered the 5th core.</p>
