<p>Specifically, im looking for these schools</p>
<p>Harvard
MIT
Stanford
Princeton
Yale
Caltech
Duke
Northwestern
UPenn
Columbia
UChicago</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Also, which of the above schools do NOT use the common application</p>
<p>anybody know any of these?</p>
<p>im just wondering (only a junior) because i applied to RSI this year (requre 2 science/math recs) and the recs were pretty good (they showed it to me after i sent out the application)...however, i have a feeling i have to ask my apush or english teacher and they are not as good as teachers/i do not participate as much in their classes.</p>
<p>has no one applied to these colleges or something?</p>
<p>MIT doesn't use the common application.</p>
<p>MIT and Caltech both require one humanites rec (and "humanities" basically means anything besides math or science- english, history, foreign language, art. I had my art teacher of 4 years write mine) and one math/science rec.</p>
<p>I applied to all those minus MIT, Caltech, Duke, and Columbia, and U chicago was the only one I had to have a humanities and a math science. For everything else I had my 11th grade English teacher and econ teacher write me recs, for Uchicago I did my math and econ teachers</p>
<p>alright thanks guys</p>
<p>^one more question, did stanford use common application (their website seems down)?</p>
<p>also, i want to go to MIT, and i dont want a bad humanities rec, so i probably have to participate more in class...but i like how MIT gives like 7 spaces for awards and 5 for EC, thats good for me.</p>
<p>yes stanford did.</p>
<p>If you have further questions about MIT, the MIT board is pretty active.</p>
