The status of my recommendation letters is potentially disasterous. Basically at this point, I have one rec from my research professor. I might be able to squeeze out another rec from one of the science courses I took last sem (although it was a lab class). As you can tell from my tone, I don't have the greatest options to choose from. My science courses have generally been large and, admittedly, I'm not the type of student to go to office hours strictly for small chat. Unfortunately, the office hours of my science professors this semester don't align with my schedule so I have two questions:
1. What's a good way to get to know a professor w/o going to office hours?
2. What's the optimal 3 letter combo that will satisfy most med schools' requirements (2 science + 1 non science? 3 science letters? 1 science, 1 non science, 1 non-professor, etc.)?
