<p>how in the world do you get a letter of recommendation for a research position if you are a community college student who didn't have much contact with professors the first semester, and in high school, you really didn't care because you never needed a letter of recommendation from a teacher! So who do I turn to, I don't want this to stop me from being an intern or ending up at a research position. And I wish it was only one letter of recommendation, but the majority of them are two! that means two teachers that I have to think of to write me a good letter of recommendation. How would you approach this?</p>

<p>Btw, is there any research or intern positions that may not require two letters of recommendation, maybe at least one.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Your best bet is to try contacting PI's of local colleges yourself. </p>

<p>If you apply for outside internships, yes, you will likely need 2-3 letters of rec.</p>

<p>principle investigators. the big cheese of the labs</p>

<p>Or private investigators. You can hire a PI to find out which PIs are willing to take students.</p>
