They can write better letters if they know you a bit. Even if you have 3 A+ grades, they might not be able to say anything more than “…was a pleasure to have in class…excelled at course assignments…”

It takes some work and time but I’d recommend getting to know professors. A better letter could land you a better internship. Even more, if you’re considering graduate school, it’s never too early to start building relationships. They have connections and might clue you into opportunities that aren’t publicized anywhere.

I hope that helps.
