NOVA requires an LOR from 2 science profs and 1 non-science prof. My university was super impacted and my first 3 years of undergrad I couldn't get into any science classes...so I ended up taking all of my non-science classes before. It's been 2-3 years since I took any non-science courses and I don't feel like any of the professors would remember me or that I'd feel comfortable even asking. Suggestions on what to do? I would really prefer not to take another english or whatever class just to get a LOR (already retaking 3 classes before next app cycle) but that's really the only option I can think of.
