Hi,
I’m a recent UVA grad of ‘23 back in May and am currently taking two gap years to save up money + strengthen my application due to my low sGPA (~2.9) and GPA of (3.2).
I’m not gonna lie, I feel like one of my biggest regrets was not taking advantage during the semester to connect with my science-focused professors (such as being a TA). I've had my plate full with extracurriculars, job, and handling some pretty brutal stuff going on at home. I have a few professors on my mind to contact but for some it's been as far as years due to online learning.
Does anyone have an idea on how to start collecting professor recommendations even when I’m taking gap years and who I should be talking to?
