hey guys, I had a couple questions about pre-reqs, and if you know the answer i'd appreciate the help

for Nova, they require a liberal arts LOR. (I dont have any libert arts teacher to ask...do you know if we can just substitute a science teacher for the liberal arts teacher? or should i just save the money from applying to this school, in case not having this particular LOR will be a deal breaker?)

for Boston, according to the website, they require 5 social sciences classes (20 units) and 8 units of math. however, according to the ADEA handbook the social science classes are a recommendation and not a requirement. anyway I have 16 units of social sciences and 7 units of math. once again, should these shortfalls deter me from applying to these schools, or will it not really make a difference?

thanks guys...and yes I have contacted the schools with these questions and they havent gotten back to me...maybe they still will, but I thought i'd utilize SDN in the meantime

best
steven
