i'm out of town too. one of my prof is being lazy about it
. i e-mailed him once, either he didn't get it, or he's being an a hole
. i'm in a tricky situation, it's been about a week and a half since my e-mail, should i e-mail him again, and if so, what should i say? can you guys give me an example of something to write?
btw, the a hole prof has all my stuff to write the LOR, but no contact has been made, i just dropped it off by his office
. do you think he has a new e-mail address? think i could contact the school and find this out?
and as for the op - i tried so many prof and got turned down
, the trick is to keep trying, and ask others, eventually you'll get two from sci profs.
e-mail them, and see if you can make an appointment to see them, if you can get back into town, if not, then it's kind of hard, but see if you could personalize yourself through the phone or e-mail (even though it's much better to try set up an appointment!)
Good Luck, let us know what works out.
