Two of the professors I was counting on for letters of recommendation have now turned me down while I’m in the process of applying to medical school. Both agreed to write a letter for me when I took their course junior year, but admittedly, I have not kept up the relationship like I should have. I purposely took a gap year before applying so it has been two years since I interacted with them frequently. I guess I should have obtained the letters then and just asked for a date update at this time, but I did not and I’m learning the hard way. I also didn’t have a backup plan as I should have. Another hard lesson learned. What do I do now? Both of these were the science letters I need. I’m starting to worry quite a lot. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.
