Which teacher should you request to write your recommendations?
Well, I think it should be in a perfect world, ideally, you want two teachers in the academic course subjects. Then obviously, there are exceptions to that but in general, you want to have two teachers that have taught you at the high school level, two teachers where, ideally, you have done well in their classes. It doesn t have to, that doesn t always have to be the case and two teachers that you feel comfortable with because it's more than likely that if you like them, they probably have a very positive impression of you. So, I would think two teachers, academic subjects, people that you like, that s the way to go.
