<p>thanks for the advice! i have recieved several amazing recomendations from many of my professors. one of the number one things in obtaining a good recomendation is attending all classes. aside from this you want to formulate a relationship with your professor and let them know that you are very serious about their class and for academic future. also be sure to obtain recomendations in your field of study if you can. i received several recomendations form my chemistry, bio, and math professors only. although i had excellent relationships with my literature and history professors i felt that the college that i was applying to would want to see me being recomended from teachers in the field that i was intending on studying in. my goal is to become a forensic scientist so recomendations from, math, bio, and chem made sense to me.</p>
