If I want to apply as a pre-med student, can I get a letter of recommendation from a non-science teacher?

If you are are on the pre-med track you can ask a hospital employee or intern volunteer coordinator for a letter of recommendation. They can speak to your curiosity about the field of medicine, your work ethic, how you interact with others, or communication skills. Med schools want to know about your non-academic strengths too. Seek healthcare service projects or job shadowing while you are in college and request Letters of Recommendation as you complete projects.

Yes, you can get a letter of recommendation from a non-science teacher (core class teachers are recommended). However, getting a recommendation from a science teacher will make you stand out more because it is related to your major. I think you should try asking future science teachers for recommendations since you still have time (you don't submit college apps until senior year). Just try your best in those science/medicine/health related classes and have a good relationship with those teachers. Check your college's website for a specific deadline for teacher/counselor recommendations.

I believe that you can get a recommendation from a non science teacher. However, getting one from a science teacher might make you shine a bit more. I think you could get one from your APUSH and one from your science teacher(if you can have more than one recommendation letter). Also you can take into consideration which teacher knows you really well and will write beautifully about you.

Good luck.☺☺☺☺☺
