| Staying more hours than you're scheduled to shows real interest. I'm about the graduate now and that was one of the reasons my professor took a liking to me as an undergrad student. And getting to know your prof, labmates, and groups you work closely with also helps when it comes to rec letters for grad school. I didn't get to know them for that reason but found it incredibly useful that several profs knew me well enough to write a personalized rec letter for me. |
