<p>Hey there. I was just wondering, is getting a professor to write a recommendation letter right now bad if I wanted to apply (for UC) next year? Should I wait until next year? I'm just worrying about if the professor will remember much about me next year, and since he is an Economics prof (I'm a business major), I thought he would be my best choice for asking about a recommendation.</p>

<p>This is a good question. I would tell the prof that you would like him to write a rec, but realize your transfer is a full year (plus) away. Would he like to write it now and have you contact him with instructions where/how to send it later? Would he like to have you contact him next year (does he feel confident that he will remember you)? Would he like you to set up an appointment some time next year, bring in your up-to-date transcript/resume and go from there?</p>
<p>Let him guide you.</p>
