Magnet Teacher LoR vs. STEM LoR?Answered
I am a senior preparing for the college application process. I know a lot of colleges highly recommend a letter from a STEM and Humanities teacher, but I have a stronger bond with my magnet teacher (Think about it as a major). My magnet teacher teaches the Academy of Helth Professions and Sciences and I know she will write a strong recommendation. I am afraid this teacher would not account for a "STEM" teacher. I do have my Honors Physics teacher as an option to write a letter for me. So would you recommend to obtain the letter from my magnet teacher or do for Physics?

Since your magnet teacher's subject is Health Professions and Sciences, that's still pretty science-oriented. If you're planning to go into health professions, it's even more clear that this teacher should write you a rec letter. Since you have a stronger bond with that teacher, and their subject is still in the science domain, I think the magnet teacher is a better choice (unless you want to major in Physics). Hope this helps, and let me know if you have more questions!
