Who Should I Ask For Letters of Recommendation from?

Applying to College

<p>For me, the time to transfer to a four year university is quickly approaching. I have great stats, excellent ECs, and some leadership experience. I know that letters of recommendation will also play a big part as to whether or not I will be accepted to where I apply. So far, four people come to mind:</p>

<h1>1. The president of my college- I have spent a great deal of time with the president. In April, I was selected to be a part of a group of students who traveled up to Harrisburg to lobby for more funding for PA community colleges.</h1>

<h1>2. The VP of Academic Affairs- I have also spent time with the VP of Academic Affairs. Since I know the president so well, I have also met the VP several times. We keep in contact with each other.</h1>

<h1>3. The head of Student Affairs- Through my Spring 2014 Leadership Class, Residence Hall Council,</h1>

<h1>4. My chemistry professor- I have had my chemistry professor for General Chemistry I and II, or one full semester. Throughout both semesters, I came to his office as often as I conversed with him in person and through email. I consider him to be my favorite professor. He has also written recommendations for me in the past (he wrote my recommendation for the aforementioned non-credit Spring 2014 Leadership Class and for my RA position in the dorms; with the help of his recommendations, I was accepted into the Leadership Class, and I was hired as an RA starting this semester).</h1>

<p>Who should I ask for recommendations from? I will definitely ask my professor as schools usually require one LOR from a professor. </p>

<p>Definitely the chemistry professors as it seems you have a good relationship with him and you have had an ongoing relationship with him. As for the other candidates, choose the one you think you have a good relationship with, has the time to write you a rec, and who you think remembers you the best and will give the most thought into it.</p>

<p>@shawnspencer Thank you for your response! I will stay in contact with him throughout next year. Not only would he be willing to write one, but he will probably also want to keep me on the right track to medical school. I will also keep in contact with the other candidates and see which ones can actually write it, as you have stated.</p>
