esoldat Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I am currently a Junior in college and planning to apply for PA this coming cycle for starting mid April 2015. As far as letters of recommendation, most of the schools I am looking at require 3. I have 2 set already, the PA I shadow and my house advisor that knows me well. For the professor perspective, I am stuck on what to do. I am not really close with any of my professors. I have had a professor in the past write me a letter of recommendation for studying abroad even when she really didn't know me. There is a chance I will TA for her in the fall but I am not positive yet and I only had her for one semester last year. I have another professor from last semester and last spring that would probably recognize my name because I had testing accommodations and she would come check on those few students in the other room during exams but she doesn't know me personally. I am done with all my prereqs except microbio and I am taking that this summer at my community college. Any advice for me? Get to know the micro bio professor this summer and ask after my class? or ask a professor from the past or from this semester? Also, my GPA has never gone down, my grades continually to improve each semester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 See the other string about this. I feel that whoever can write the best letter about you is the one to ask. It is hard to expect that you can cultivate an LOR in a few hours or a few weeks. Whatever they write can't show much insight. It's hard to believe that in 3 years you haven't gotten to know any of your profs well enough to get a letter that speaks to your academic performance.
