<p>Ok, I have a few questions about teacher recommendations! So bare with me :)</p>
<p>I'm deciding between a few teachers for my two recommendations. I plan on double majoring in linguistics and neuroscience and I'm wondering how much that should come into play here. So here are the options</p>
<p>Teacher A: AP English teacher (11) and Hon English teacher (9). She's a very good writer and extremely friendly. Me an her always seem to joke around with each other. She's commented on my writing and always gives me high marks and compliments about my style. She knows a bit about my extracurriculars and is a supervisor of National Honor Society I'm part of. </p>
<p>Teacher B: AP US History teacher (11). When I asked her for a recommendation, she seemed super excited!! We talk quite often about college and school and she's very interested about it. I've done pretty well in her class, although history isn't my thing so I didn't participate much. However, she knows TONS about my extracurriculars and said she had many stories that show my leadership, passion, and friendliness. So...I feel this will be more about me as a person than a student? I'm just wondering if it would be a bad idea
because history has nothing to do with my interests. </p>
<p>Teacher C: AP Calc (11) and Calc II (12). He doesnt know me outside of school very well and we haven't talked much. But I've done very well in his classes and he's commented to my parents that I seemed to grasp the material very quickly. However, I just don't know if he knows me that well beyond the math room. But, he's been my teacher for two years and math fits better into my major than English or history. </p>
<p>So, out of these, which two do you think I should choose?</p>
<p>Also, one more thing. Sorry, I feel like this is dragging on! Haha.
My passion is language and linguistics do I obviously would have choose my German teacher (9-10) to write my recommendation because it would fit my major and he knows me very well. But, for the past year and until January, he will be in Afghanistan fighting the war over there. So, he's out of the question. I talked to my counselor, and she said she could bring up my linguistic passion (she was a linguistic major herself) and though I should say something about not being able to choose my German teacher for a recommendation. Is there a place I can do this? And would it be appropriate to do this? Personally, it seems a bit like an excuse to me...and I certainly don't want it to come off that way. Or is the whole thing really that big of a deal for me to bring up?</p>
<p>Thank you soooo much :)</p>
