my PI (Amazing letter), an MD (very good), and animal bio professor(who says he didnt know me personally and seemed hesitant to write me one but said hed be fine writing me a generic "student soandso got an A in my class" letter.
I still need two more letters from science faculty at my university to get a pre med letter and I have not been able to get to know any of my professors well at all so far. this is my last semester to do so. I just don't know how to do it. I am taking micro and organic 2 this semester so I have 2-3 months to get to know them very well to even have a shot at applying.
I need advice on HOW to get to know them well enough they agree to write me a letter. In my animal bio class, I always asked questions and seemed interested in the topic and did very well on all his tests, but apparently that wasn't enough to warrant a great letter, as he said he liked to get to know his students outside of class. how the heck do i get to know my professors outside of class?!
For my microbiology class, my professors really funny and nice, but intimidates me with his ridiculous intellectual skills. I know I should go to his office hours but I don't have any QUESTIONS to ask! I know that seems like a silly statement, but he basically hands out the notes that are self-explanatory. what to do? I NEED to get him to know me.
For Organic 2, this guy REALLY INTIMIDATES me. hes NOT afraid to speak his mind and has a loud booming voice, but he is an amazing teacher. I know I can go to his office hours and ask for organic help, as I really do need it, but how can I make sure hes getting to "know" me. i took organic 1 with him 2 semesters ago and got an A, but only talked to him once. this time i plan to try to live in his office. I thought my animal bio professor was getting to "know" me, but apparently he didn't think so.
