<p>My son submitted one recommendation from an AP math teacher and one from a college chemistry professor. They were both along the lines of “best student of my career.” Math and science subjects were his exceptional strengths and his intended major. A humanities teacher would have said he was an excellent student with a unique perspective. Why settle for less than the best you can get?</p>
<p>Remember, a letter from your guidance counselor is also expected; he or she can address random topics like school ECs and any hardships you have overcome.</p>
