Question about LOR and SCEA testing dates

[yomamasallama]

<p>Two questions:</p>

<p>1) I am enrolled in a public independent study program and take most of my classes at the local community college, where contact with professors is sporadic and impersonal. Luckily, I have found one with whom I have taken 3 classes who will write me a letter. As for the other, I am wondering if it would be acceptable to get a letter from a U of C (Santa Barbara) professor to write one for me. I have never been enrolled in one of his courses but I have sat in on many at his invitation and have had many one-on-one sessions with him discussing globalization for my global issues class at the community college. Would this be acceptable under Yale’s rules?</p>

<p>2) I want to apply SCEA, but I have not taken the SAT, or subject tests yet. Is it ok to have both done by nov 6 even though the deadline for SCEA is nov1?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>

It is important that you solicit recommendations from teachers who have taught you in academic subjects, who know you well, and have seen you at your best. It is also preferable that letters come from teachers who have taught you during your junior or senior year of high school.

</p>

<p>I doubt they will accept the prof that you have not taken a course from, however since you’re in a non-traditional HS program, it won’t hurt to call up Y admissions and ask them.</p>
