Ask professors that you have a good rapport with "Dr X, do you know me well enough to write me a good letter for my app to medical school?"Currently going into my junior year. Everything is going smoothly in terms of me being able to apply in the next cycle without taking a gap year but I am very worried about getting recommendations. I’ve taken 0 science classes with under 250 people and half of them have been online. The ones I’m taking this coming semester are also very large. I see some med schools require 2 science recommendations from faculty that have taught you but I don’t know how I am supposed to get quality interactions with professors? I am TAing a class but I have never been a student of the professor. I feel like recommendations aren’t talked about as often as other parts but it seems extremely difficult to me. How important are quality recommendations?
