The Right Teacher for Teacher Recs?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I'm applying to several summer programs and each one asks for two letters of rec from teachers, but I don't know which ones I should choose. </p>

<p>Some of the programs, like Summer @ Brown, are not focused on one specific subject. So I was thinking maybe my APUSH teacher to show that I'm a good student (I had a 97 1st quarter and a 99 2nd quarter), but I don't think he likes me. Then maybe Adv. English, because I try really, really hard in that class, but my grade is mediocre. </p>

<p>Other programs are specifically dealing with science, so obviously I'm going to ask my chem teacher, but I'm not sure who to ask for the second rec. </p>

<p>Any advice? How do you guys choose which teacher writes you a letter of rec?</p>

<p>Your transcript will show that you got good grades and are a good student; you don’t need a rec letter for that. If you’re not sure a teacher likes you, don’t ask him for a rec, regardless of your grade.</p>

<p>For the second rec for the science program, perhaps a math teacher?</p>
