Questions about recommendations?

<p>Which professors should I ask for recommendations? Does it matter what semester I took their class? I want to ask a prof. whose class I know I did well in and in whose class I participated and such. I am a little nervous about what my grades will be for this semester, while last semester I did really well. So can I ask professors from Winter 2010 semester (last sem.) or would it be best to ask professors from Fall 2010?</p>

<p>Also, the general consensus is to ask for recommendations before Winter Break, right?</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>I don’t think it matters what term you took the professor’s class. I asked professors from my freshmen year to write mine.</p>

<p>Agree that it doesn’t matter when you had the course.</p>

<p>When you ask depends somewhat on what the deadlines are. I’d give profs at least a month lead time, so if deadlines are March 1, you still have time after winter break.</p>
