I have a math teacher writing one of my recommendation letters, and I want to ask my Civil Engineering and Architecture Teacher for a recommendation as well. The problem is, he isn’t an “academic” teacher. He doesn’t teach a core school subject, which Duke says they want the recommendation letters to be from. Are they really strict about it, or do you think it would be okay to have him write a letter of rec for me, especially if I plan on applying ED to Pratt and major in civil engineering?
