Hey everyone, thanks for reading my post!
I was a Psychology major during undergrad and only took two prerequisite biology classes during my freshman year. Looking back, I am well aware that this was a mistake and I'm planning on taking more biology classes during my gap year to supplement my application. Most schools that I'm applying to ask for a letter of recommendation from a biology professor and a chemistry professor. The first biology professor I asked declined because he was a graduate student during the time that he taught the class. The second professor I asked hasn't responded to the two emails that I sent him.
My next option is to either ask my biochem professor (the class was marked as a chemistry class at my university) or my neural professor. The neural class is psychology class, but it is interchangeable with a biology class at my university. You could either take this class or another corresponding biology class. I received a B- in biochem, but an A in neural. Which professor would be better to receive a letter of recommendation from? I know the professors both on a similar level.
Do you think schools would be understanding of my circumstance? I'm really trying to scramble for solutions. Thanks for your help!
