Hello All,

I've done some searching, but I can't find any thread that mirrors my exact situation. I've been out of school for a few years (graduated 2012) and I'm looking to apply to Med Schools next summer. Since I've been out of school for a while and letters of recommendation from a professor are necessary I've decided that I should probably take a new class and try to earn a LOR from a professor next spring. However I'm not sure if I should take a class at a local community college or go to the more expensive state school (University of Minnesota, of which I'm alumnus). Do you guys think that getting a LOR from a community college professor would be of less worth than that of a state school? Should I just bite the bullet, pay more for the UMN class, and let it wreak havoc on my work schedule?

Thanks Much!
 
Who the professor is shouldn't matter so much; what does matter is how much that professor knows you and your character, work ethic, etc.
