So essentially, my current lac does not offer many courses in a field that I decided I wanted to major in. One of my courses last semester, the only thing directly related to said field I want to major in, was a really high level course that I had to talk to the professor a lot about to waiver into. I was the only freshman, and it was the only class I took where my writing improved. I don’t think I was anywhere near the smartest kid in the class, but I worked my butt off and got an A-. Later, I ended up as a research intern for a project he is planning on publishing in this field. I listed it as an activity in the common app, and I think I specifically mentioned this was for the prof who taught that high level class.
I ended up not asking him for a rec because I didn’t have the heart to tell him I was thinking of leaving, especially after my other profs ended up trying to talk me out transferring. I only applied to reaches, so it may very well be that I won’t get accepted anywhere and end up staying here any who. But considering he taught the only class I took first semester that was directly related to my intended major, will it seem suspicious that I did not choose him for a rec? My other profs who I asked for recs knew me very well…
