I'm applying to PT programs in the fall so I'm starting to figure out who I should ask to write letters of rec for me. I'm definitely going to get one from a PT and if her letter is anything like the one she wrote for me for college, it will be great. I'm going to ask my academic advisor for one (most likely), and I'm going to ask a professor for one, I'm just not sure who to ask. Im torn between my A&P II professor, my physics professor (will have spent 2 semesters in his class), or my exercise phys professor (shes my lab instructor too and is a PT as well). I know my physics professor has good things to say about me, but he's a little scatterbrained so that worries me. Im taking exercise phys right now and I love the class, but I get mixed signals from my professor about whether she likes me or not (sometimes when I ask her questions the look on her face seems to me like I'm bothering her). My anatomy professor really liked me and he told me that I'm one of the hardest-working students he's ever had, but I only got a B in his class (he would test us on rediculous minor details). He's the head of the bio department at my school too. I remember when I was looking at colleges, during an admissions presentation, the rep said that it still looks good to get a letter from a teacher who's class you didnt do great in, but still worked really hard and had a good relationship with. Does this hold true for PT school admissions too? If this was your situation, which professor would you ask?
