<p>Hi, everyone. </p>
<p>Here's a snippet of my story: I attended UCLA for 2 quarters in 2011 before withdrawing. I haven't been enrolled in a college class since, but am now applying to transfer to other schools. I will be taking courses at my local community college this spring to complete a full year of studies before continuing my education at another college next fall. </p>
<p>At UCLA, I took mostly general education courses, large lectures. I took a few upper-division courses but they were still classes with at least 30 - 50 students. I did well in my courses and connected a little with some of my professors but nothing deeply meaningful or memorable. Now two years have gone by, and I doubt that any of them remember me much at all! </p>
<p>So here's my quandary: I have no choice but to go out on a limb and contact them for recommendations even though they might not even know who I am. But how would I go about asking? Is there anything I can do to boost my chances for getting good recs despite the circumstance? Would it be appropriate to attach some of the best work I did in their classes? </p>
<p>Thanks for any advice!</p>
