ok here is the deal. I just received my B. in Psych last semester. I have helped as an undergraduate RA at different psych departments: Developmental 2 semesters
environmental, 1 semester
Clinical, 2 semesters
Currently: post bach, currently helping as an RA at the Cognitive NC lab.
I am a little worried about asking for LOR from my past undergrad experience because it's been a couple of years that i did them. also i was wondering how appropiate would it be to ask them if they would write a strong letter of recomendation? I emailed the clinical professor and he does still remember me and even gave me thanks for the work i did. i was worried though because the work i did at his lab did not involve much contact with him. i basically spent 95% of the time transcribing recorded sessions.
I didn't have much exposure with the teacher at the Environmental lab, and i only helped for one semester.
as far as my Developmental and the Cognitive NC labs, i did have a lot of expsure with the professors.
to sum up all this, what would you guys do in my situation? i want to get strong LOR and I was wondering how would you guys go about it. should I email them and ask if they would write me a strong LOR?
on a side note, my Cognitive NC professor allowed me to take a graduate level class last semester "neuropsychology of aging" in which I received an A and was graded at the same level as the rest of the grad students.
How good do you guys think this will look on my application for grad school?
thanks for reading this confusing message. i would love to hear what eveyrone has to say. i REALLY appreciate any suggestions!!!
