I am a recent graduate and I am concerning about LORs since I was a transfer student, I didnt have enough time to build a close relationship with professors plus I graduated in four quarters.....
Did you participate in any research/internships/volunteer work, etc?
If you did, those are applicable areas and you can use that for LORs. If you absolutely have no professors to ask for a recommendation you could enroll as a non-degree seeking student (check with your program that you are interested in) and take courses. If you prove yourself in a non-degree grad level class you will meet relevant faculty who can provide you with recommendations. I just went to a grad school fair because I encountered a similar problem (changed my major spring of junior year). I have 2 letters of rec but needed one more. The representative from my program suggested doing the non-degree option to get my foot in the door. You can always contact the program coordinator/department you are interested in and ask them about potential applicants and ways to improve the weaker points on your application.
Thank you for the reply.
I did research and have two professors to ask for LOR. However, one left to Europe and the other one cant write me a strong letter because he is in different dept.
I studied economics(top4%) at Top UC but wanna get into either stat or finance master...
