Can someone give me some insight on how to ask my proffesors for LORs? I've procrastinated and am nervous about how to ask. Thanks!

This is something I was told about asking for recommendation letters.
Ask a professor that knows you and that you get along with, but when you ask him/her, look them straight in the eye and say, "would you be willing to write me a good letter of recommendation?"
If they flinch, blink, or falter, ask someone else. As has already been stated, a bleh letter can be worse than no letter at all.
As for where to send them... I got the addresses from the schools to which I was applying and provided the professor with a pre-addressed stamped envelope. Call the schools or look on the web pages for information.
