Teacher Recommendations We are changing our recommendation process. We still require two recommendations. In the application, the student will be asked to list four teachers from whom they would like to receive recommendations. After the student’s application is submitted, the STEM Selection Committee will contact the teachers directly. We will first contact the #1 and #2 recommenders and more down the list as necessary. Should the STEM Selection Committee need an additional recommendation, we will reach out to the student for an additional recommender.
