So I stoped by the office of a professor that I've worked with to ask for a letter. I was sure she would say yes because I've volunteered in her lab and just generally stayed in touch with her over a two year span.
She was happy to write me a letter, but she seemed a little put out (she is always busy). She asked me my stats and how I did on the MCAT and when I told her she was like "wow, you can write your own ticket anywere." I told her I was doing early decision at the U of MN (where she teaches) and she seemed disappointed
She said "there are cheaper places than the U of MN"...
I told her my reasons (my wife is in vet school at the U of MN) and she still seemed disappointed...and she is on the med school faculty!
I guess it's too late as I already applied.
Anyone else have any disturbing/strange stories when asking for LORs?
