Ok I'm wondering how to go about doing this.
There isn't a single mechanical engineering professor in the tech ME department that would even have a clue who I was if I emailed them asking for a letter of recommendation, and the grad school I'm applying to requires three of them. What do I do? Do they just hand these things out to anyone or do you actually have to prove to them you deserve it? I think I _MIGHT_ be able to get Dr. Oler to give me one, and MAYBE Dr. Muga .... I mean should I just email the instructors I know I got good grades from and be like "Hi! Recommend me!"......? -------------------- I r Ur Gawd!

I find it hard to believe that you can't find three professors to write you a letter. Yes they may be mostly pre-formulated, but that's all the grad school is asking, right? They're not asking profs to write bios of you. Just to say you got good grades, proved you were reliable by coming to class every time and doing all your coursework, and that you contributed to the environment by being courteous to fellow students and not being a troublemaker. I think saying "boo hoo no one knows me well enough to write my life story" is more of a cop out than form letters. Just my 2.
