<p>would a teacher more towards my specific major be better to write a letter. for example my ap econ teacher to write a letter if i intend to major in finance and minor in economics about how i am good at that specific area rather than just a general reccomendation.</p>
<p>You want to get a recommendation from the teacher who knows you best, regardless of your major.</p>
<p>get a letter from a teacher who likes you and knows you best as suggested by koala717. It doesn't have to relate to teh subject. If your a bio major, feel free to get a rec from your history teacher if he/she's the one who knows you best.</p>
