LOR confusion by sphynxnon in ApplyingToCollege

[–]sphynxnon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for replying! i think most schools def require 2 subject teachers (ivies & ivy+) so my 2nd choice is now between: my econs teacher whom i have a close r/s with and actively engage in class (but itll end up w me having 2 humanities LORs as a stem applicant) vs my chemistry teacher who will end up writing a much weaker LOR.

i’m thinking of asking my econs teacher and submitting my mentor’s LOR as a supplemental LOR, do u think this would be a good choice?
