<p>a very strong academic student. straight A except one subject with an A-. got 5’s in all 8 AP’s so far except US history. Got a 4 and an A- in class… Had requested for a recommendation already during spring from the USH teacher and will not look good to change it now…Is it ok?? Very confused about it. MIT wants one recommendation from Humanities and the other from math/sciences and hence chose this way already. Not sure if it was the right approach on my part. Advice please…</p>
<p>How about you guys? do you invariably ask for a recommendation from the teacher wherein you got a 5 in the respective AP class or does it not matter?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>Adcoms don’t want to read more than 3 recs. 2 teacher recs are standard, plus a supplement if you think it would paint a better picture of you.</p>
<p>A common fallacy is that you have to get recs from teachers whose classes you’ve done very well in. Your rec can talk about more positive qualities (like how you respond to failure) if it is in a class that you didn’t get an A+ in.</p>
<p>My school has a process for requesting teacher reqs and we had to fill out forms on Naviance about why we were asking that teacher and what we thought we did well in that class. If your school doesn’t have something similar, you should make a list of things that you would like mentioned in your recs to give to the teachers you choose. It will help them write your rec, help them remember you, and result in a better rec since they will probably be more likely to state even negative things in a more positive light.</p>

<p>Where do you that within Naviance? We dont have something like a brag sheet within naviance. But do you think the “note” portion within the add request teacher can be used for this purpose? Any idea what is the MAX length possible for the text within NOTE section in add/cancel request for teacher recs within naviance?</p>
<p>Also if i want to update the note to the teacher, how do i do it in naviance? Should i cancel the request and re-create? This is cumbersome… Can someone help please… I need to fill this out asap and so please!!!</p>
