I have 2 questions concerning LOR.
1) Right now I'm in the process of asking for my 2nd LOR for science. I asked my ochem from community college with my gmail if he could write me one. He wrote me a reccommendation for scholarship before, and I'm pretty sure he would remember me. However, I attended his class about 4 years ago. Is that too long ago? Also, he has not responded to my email. I don't know if he didn't see it or is ignoring it(Been about 2 weeks without reply). Should I try meeting him in his office hours? I can also try a UC teacher, but I don't really know any others that well; however I did well in most of my classes.
2) There's many different LOR requirement for each school. Right now, I signed up for UCI's LOR service. However, they do not allow you to select which ones you want to send to each school(They send to all schools as a package). I can get a letter from my volunteer advisor, and probably from my spanish teacher. However, I cannot give them an address to send it to, since the aadas thing doesn't open till June 4th. What do people usually do in this situation? Do they ask the writers now, and then give them the address after June 4th? I want to complete my application asap.
