Cheryl’s Answer

You need to talk to your professors or at least someone who knows you well, and knows your intellect, problem-solving skills, and ability to interact with others. That is who should write your letter, someone who knows these things. Communication is a very important academic and professional skill. I am more concerned about why you will not approach one of your professors. If it is because they do not know you, then I understand. But if it is because you have difficulty communicating, then you have to work on communication. Otherwise, pick someone you are comfortable asking.

Elana’s Answer

You may not want to hear this , but face-to-face time with your profs is necessary. They will generally want to help, especially when they know you better. 15 minutes in office hours to talk about your future plans is key. And write up a list of 3-4 bullet points to cover in a recommendation letter.
Good luck

Elana recommends the following next steps:

Visit 2-3 profs during office hours
