Default Re: Teacher Rec\'s

Quick point:

If you haven't done anything substantial with a professor, you probably don't want their letter anyway. Everyone's letters say "So and so was a good student". You want yours to stand out. Many of my grad schools had forms that asked my profs to fill in "This student was in the top _____ % of students in the last 10 years" or something as well. You really want that relationship to be solid, and you want the professor to be able to write something interesting about you and his experience with you.

Fortunately, not all of your grad school letters have to come from profs. Unfortunately, you'll probably want at least 2 that do.
