<p>im at art history major and i know that you have to get reccomendation letter from professors who know you but the only problem is that how are the professors supposed to know me when most of my classes have about 70-100 students. the professors can't know and remember everyone has anyone had this problem while applying for grad school</p>
<p>It's your responsibility to get to know your professors. Discuss research with them, make use of office hours, etc. If your classes are that large, you are probably a frosh or soph. Upper-level classes are much smaller, and you'll have more opportunities.</p>
<p>MELLY-- i understand you. the problem a my school-- and probably a lot of others-- is that we have a TON of adjunct professors. so it is difficult to get to know a professor that is full time whose letter will actually pull some weight. i'm not gonna lie, i had to exchange academic labor for one of my letters. i had the professor for one semester and i got an A in his class. he is giving me a letter as long as i helo him edit his book. which is cool cause that loks GREAT on CV's and in personal statements. but yeah you just gotta put yourself out there. be upfront with your profesor and your intentions. let them know graduate school is a goal of yours and that their intersts overlap your interests. most professors will understand and help you out. good luck!</p>
<p>I'm with DespSeekPhd on this one. It's up to you to push past the rest of the grade grubbers and get some professors on your side. I went to a school that's supposedly notorious for impersonal classes, and yet I had at least 3 or 4 professors willing to write letters just off the bat. Had I needed more, I'm sure I could've managed.</p>
