I don't know about everyone else here, but I'm Kind of shy and I almost never talk to my professors or go to their office hours. I'm pretty sure none of my science professors even remember me. I remember I went once and they told me to talk to a TA.

I was wondering how everyone else gets their letters. Do you just walk into the Professor's office with some kind of resume and just straight up ask them.

I don't know why I never thought about needing a LoR from a science prof for some reason or I would have made a greater effor to be on better terms.
 
Yes- I know how you feel. I'm not that talkative of a person either. I was struggling on how to approach my letter writers. Finally, I just came to the conclusion that I have to just ask them. It was very easy to do! And guess what? They were more than happy to do it for me! You have to realize that they write letters all the time- in fact its really part of their job function.

It may be awkward for you, but don't worry -just approach your professors with your resume and I would say personal statement.
 
You guys need to break out of your shells and be more sociable. You want to be pharmacists right?
