I took the same english teacher for a year, and the same chemistry teacher for a year, im only a freshman, should i ask for LORS now or wait until im applying to medical school,which will be about two years from now. How do iIeven know if they will be aroung then? Do medical schools accept LORS that are years old? PLease help.

ask them now. im not sure how ur university is run, but im sure there is a office that safely files the letters (without you seeing them).

i would say get to know them better and keep in contact with them. let them know your plans and that in the future, you may like a letter from them. you could change a lot in the next two years, so i wouldn't have them written just yet. if you stay in contact with them, i am sure you will know if they are leaving. if they do leave, they can still write you a letter.
