I have two professors I want to ask for LOR and I'm sure they would write them for me with good intentions, but I think I went to their office hours like maybe 1 or 2 times and I don't even know if they remember me since it has been some time.
What do you think is the best way to ask them? I'm thinking about going to them during office hours and give them my information (name, course attended date, etc...) and letter on why I want to pursue medicine and my background (modified personal statement). Should I give them my transcript and resume?
How heavily do you think adcoms weigh the letter of recommendation from science professors? Do they understand that there's 300 + students and getting to know the professor is not the easiest thing?
Also, do they care about class rank in that course? I got an A in the class but I know my class rank is not high as a lot of students got an A (I did bad on one exam which lowered my rank significantly), do you think they would look at this heavily?
