<p>After three months of procrastination I finally finished my summer hw. </p>
<p>I still have to ask my math teacher for a rec. She wanted us to wait until after summer, and then she missed the first three days of school. :P</p>
<p>@Jellybae Depends on the school, although I think most colleges require you to use recs from core classes. Check out the websites of the colleges you’re thinking of.</p>
<p>I’m doing 2 academic (classic teacher and English teacher), probably my director, and possibly my head of school (who is technically my employer this year). 4 seems like too many, though, so I’ll probably just send my English teacher’s and my director’s to most schools (unless they require two academic).</p>
<p>Aye yo guys which one of these lectures sounds the most interesting. </p>

<p>I’m leaning towards Quantum Mechanics and Neutrinos. </p>
<p>I asked both my English and PreCalc teachers near the end of junior year and they both said yes. The recs will be sent late September.</p>
<p>I asked AP Chem and AP Bio teacher at the end of last year. But my old school used naviance…</p>
<p>Can we use two science teachers for recs? @emenya </p>
<p>A lot of times they want different ones, like an English and a science or social studies and math. Two science ones would be good if you’re going into stem though probably @jellybae </p>
<p>I asked for 3 letters.
Letter 1 is from my Pre-Calc, Advanced Physics, AP Calc, and AP Physics teacher (she absolutely loves me, I believe this letter is going to be fantastic)
Letter 2 is from my AP Psychology teacher and MUN Director (she asked me if she could write me recommendation letter, I expect it to be really good)
Letter 3 is from my Spanish 10, 11, and AP Spanish Lit teacher. She doesn’t speak English so I have to get it translated. Because it takes more time, I don’t think it will be ready by EA.</p>
<p>
It shouldn’t take more than a day to get a translation.</p>
<p>I guess that is true. I only get to send 2 letters during EA so I’ll have to pick one to leave out. </p>
<p>Ah @Phillyy15 thank you! I was going to ask my apush teacher but I don’t think he’s very knowledgeable about the selective process… I loved his class very much and he knows me better than the second teacher I was planning to ask but idk if he’d write a good rec. Last year I remember him writing a recommendation for a student and she was basically telling him what to write. I’m not sure what the rec was for though so it could have been something informal maybe but it has definitely made me feel really uneasy about asking :|</p>
<p>Wait…how would the class work if she doesn’t speak English?</p>
<p>I was thinking the same exact thing @QuadMaster </p>
<p>your foreign language teachers speak english with you? Lucky bastards.</p>
<p>@foolish - in 8th, 9th and 10th grades my Foreign Language teachers spoke spanish as their second language to English!!! Guess I shouldn’t take that for granted…</p>
<p>
Poster is an international student, presumably in a country where the main language is not English.</p>

Yup. My school is in Latin America (Panama). My Spanish classes are taught as native language classes. Our curriculum for AP Spanish Literature includes just around 10% of the works on the actual reading list. We have already covered the rest of the reading list last year, so now we are exploring literature as we please. This has allowed our class to read works such as One Hundred Years of Solitude, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Pedro Paramo, Oedipus Rex, Antigone, and the Divine Comedy. These works aren’t in the normal AP Spanish Lit curriculum. We will also be reading Kafka and Camus. After we finish a novel or play we discuss which ones we want to read next, it’s our choice if we want to stick to the works on the Spanish Lit exam or go beyond it. I anticipate that the recommendation letter will be fantastic since I am one of the few who always wants to go beyond the curriculum. She’s also sent a couple of my essays to her colleagues (Spanish professors) in renown universities (US and Latin American) and has gotten great feedback from them. </p>

That’s because they are not Spanish or Latin-American writers :)</p>
