I am having the hardest time getting my final recommendation from one of my bio professors. From the few that I thought I would for sure get one from I got the following answers:
-one said they remembered me and I was highly qualified but they only wrote them for people who work in her lab. she offered me a position the year before and I couldn't take it
-the other said they remembered me but they only write them for people who got A+s......I got an A
-asked another and they said they only write them for people in their lab
-I thought I would try a shot at one that I knew from a smaller class but got a B+ and i got denied there too
there were only so many professors that I got A's in and got went to office hours/tried to get to know well and I feel like I have run out of options. I got to a really big public university and all my classes are huge 300+ so its hard as it is and I figured they would cut people some slack.....
My last option that i can think of is to try and get to know my bio professor in the next 3 weeks before finals because I am pretty sure I am going to get an A in that class and just delay my app a little. Do you guys think it can be done? i guess i can try and ask every single professor i've ever had but they are probably just going to say no.
Am I just getting really unlucky? I'm freaking out and don't know what to do please help!
