Mid last year I took a Genetics course and went to every office hour, but I didn't really get to talk to my professor informally. I wasn't happy with my first midterm score, and I went and talked to him and did better on the second midterm. I ended up with a B in the class, but it has truly been one of my most meaningful classes.
I asked that professor for a letter of rec for a program and he gladly gave me one. He also mentioned that he would not mind giving me another one for anything else I needed (including med school). I haven't made too many connections with other science professors (I'm a rising junior, applying at the end of my junior year), so I thought it would be a good idea to ask him. How do I connect with him more so that he gets to know me better? I know that he can write about my work ethic and determination regarding his course, but I want to make sure he can say other things too. He doesn't do research, so I can't ask to join his lab. How else can I connect with him?
Thanks!
