Hi guys, I'm applying this cycle and it was rather stupid of me to wait until now to get my science letter of recs. I emailed two professors (chem from freshman year and biology from sophomore year) about a week ago asking if they would feel comfortable writing me a strong letter of rec and that I would also be more than happy to meet with them personally to talk to them about the possibilities. In the email, I also included my resume.
After about a week, I haven't heard back from either of them. I don't know what I should do. I was thinking of going into their office in person and providing them with a packet of my resume, personal statement, and transcript but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea? Or should I just try asking other professors? I go to a big public school where it is very difficult to get to know your professors and I've gone to some of their office hours but I know that they won't remember me.
I would appreciate any suggestions you guys may have as I'm worried no one will want to write a letter for me . Thanks in advance.
