Is it bad to have to recommendations from science teachers?

I wouldn’t say that it’s bad. It’s just that most colleges specifically recommend that you get recs from teachers from different subjects.



You’ll often be advised to: (1) pick junior and senior year teachers, and (2) to pick one who’s taught you a “humanities” core course, and (2) to pick one who’s taught you a “quantitative” core course. So for example: english + math, history + chemistry, and like combinations

I agree. This is the scenario for most colleges, unless your applying to technical colleges like MIT which ask for two recs specifically from a science and math teacher.
