<p>I'm not 100% sure I want to transfer, but I will be applying to keep my options open. My question is how do I go to professors for recommendations, the dean for the dean's report, and the registrar for my transcript without offending or burning bridges? My reasons for transferring are largely social if that helps...</p>
<p>well no one can be offended or hurt your application. it’s your choice what you want to do. remember, these people are professionals working at a college. just print out the forms, give them stamped/addressed envelopes, and tell them when they’re due (i suggest putting a post-it on each envelope as a reminder). as for LORs, go to your prof’s office hours and tell them that you enjoyed their class and thought that you really connected with them and you’d like to know if they could write you a rec. if they say yes, ask them what materials they’d like (copies of your transfer essays, resume, transcript, etc) and then discuss anything that you’d like them to say in their letters.</p>
<p>I think my current college teacher’s might be willing to write me a rec. But I am a little nervous because i don’t want to offend anyone if i end up not transferring. My main question though. For someone applying to transfer as a sophemore. And high school was not their strongest point in their academic career. But college has so far been a success. Would a rec from a college professor help any more than with out? I know alot of schools don’t require rec’s for transfers. But do they help alot if you do send them??</p>
<p>I think most schools do require recs and yes, it can only help to get a rec from a college-level instructor</p>
