<p>I know that junior colleges will a different situation since transferring is typical. I want to know from those who have transferred from (or attempted) a four year university to another one. I know it will heavily depend on the person being asked, but I just want to get a general feel. Have they treated you differently after you announced that you'll transfer? Did it take a lot of convincing?</p>
<p>Unless you know them very well, generally you would ask at the end of the semester, when you are best acquainted with them. If they feel like they know you more than just a student in their class, then it shouldn’t be a problem. </p>
<p>You don’t have to convince them - If you need to convince them, then maybe they shouldn’t be writing you a letter in the first place.</p>
<p>Most of the professors would say yes and just take the letter.
I thought they might “look down on me” and I guess you might have the same feeling.
But hey, look at your professors’ information.
You’d realize they have taught in other colleges.
So don’t feel bad, people always strive for better.
If you do, ask them after the semester.
All you have to do is to drop off the envelop and then leave the office.</p>
<p>The matter of fact is that my school is tiny, so a typical student will take classes from the same professor more than once. I know for a fact that I will be taking a class second semester with the same professor (Year long class). I know that he likes me (he had known me by name by first week and tried to get me to change to a physics major).</p>
