<p>Is it imperative that we follow the guidelines for teacher recs set by the school you're applying to? </p>

<p>I'm applying to MSB, so the application says I should get a recommendation from a math or social science teacher. </p>

<p>However, I was going to ask one of my English teachers to write a rec for me. I've had this teacher for 3 years so she probably knows me better than any of my other teachers and I know she'd write me a stellar recommendation.</p>

<p>The app only asks for one teacher recommendation, but can I send 2? I'm just looking for a way to get in the rec from my English teacher. I really think it'd make a big difference for me.</p>

<p>Any advice would be appreciated.</p>

<p>You can send the english one but you also need the math/science one for obvious reasons. Business kids take calculus and they need to know you're up to it.</p>

<p>the form says math or social studies i believe. so i believe u fulfill the requirement with just a history teacher rec as well</p>

<p>You can definitely send 2 recs. I did that because two teachers knew me in very different ways: one personal, and one knew my academic strengths. If you believe it will help you then there is no harm in sending a second rec. Just don't do like some...when I visited American they said the most someone ever sent in was 40! haha</p>
