When/how to ask teachers for recs?

<p>That makes sense.</p>

<p>It’s very alert of you to ask for recs junior year. Ask two-three teachers who REALLY like you.
Ask one teacher in your favorite subject, and ask two other teachers who really like you. And be careful of the rec circumstances. If you’re applying to Georgetown SFS for example (like I did), be sure to ask a history/government teacher. If you’re applying for a business school, be sure to ask your math teacher. If you’re applying for engineering, ask your science/math teacher. Remember the circumstances.</p>

<p>Is it a problem that I can only think of one teacher who’d write me a really good rec (my physics teacher)? (I want to do engineering.)</p>
