<p>So after one full semester of classes (I am a freshman hoping to transfer for the fall of sophomore year), here is my situation with professors (I need two recs by March 15th). </p>
<p>First Semester
1-Huge lecture class, extremely old and forgetful professor
2-Small seminar class, in a subject that I realized I wasn't interested in, but the professor at least knows who I am (she probably doesn't like me because I rarely participated in class)
3-Normal class taught by grad student (not very likely, he was international and not very proficient at English)
4-Dance class, great professor (but not exactly the place to show off my academic skills, so she doesn't know much about me) </p>
<p>Second Semester
1-Huge lecture class, foreign professor
2-Same dance professor for a different dance class
The rest are two new professors that I have no hopes of getting to know well enough to ask for a rec due by March 15th. </p>
<p>I will have to make a decision on which two to ask before February 10th to give them ample time to prepare and write the letters.</p>
<p>What should I do? I know that it's not really my fault as freshman courses are hardly the best place to foster professor-student relationships, but admittedly I did not frequent office hours as much as I could have because I didn't feel the need to because the workloads weren't that rigorous. I really wish that my chances of transferring weren't affected negatively by the lack of deep and moving recommendations, but I am beginning to resign myself to the fact...any advice or tips?</p>
