that was a huge selling point for me. I was basically between two schools, one where the faculty:student ratio was almost 10, and the other was over 20. I chose the "newer" program, but in the last few years it's gained a lot of traction in my region.Alexandros wrote:+1dj9i27 wrote:I h8 u^
(STEM = huge classes here so it's really difficult to get to know profs. And the labs are basically all taught by grad students.)

Yeah, got a B and an A in the two years that I took his courses nevertheless but basically didn't go to any lectures He didn't seem to mind cos his average attendance rate was something like 30%Alexandros wrote:srs?galeatus wrote:i bloody well hope that my LOR prof doesn't remember me cos out of the 80 lecture hours that I had with him I only attended 2...dj9i27 wrote:remember thing which is bullshit because I came to their labs for like 1.5 years including summers.TWiiX wrote:did they just not remember you? or did they not want to write something positive for you hahahadj9i27 wrote:omg I super hate you.

I kinda picked him because he's a really nice guy and he's one of the few people in our department who responds to emails quickly.
He didn't say it but I think he knew exactly who I was and was just being nice and not mentioning it.Alexandros wrote:Ah - Did he know who you were?galeatus wrote:Yeah, got a B and an A in the two years that I took his courses nevertheless but basically didn't go to any lectures He didn't seem to mind cos his average attendance rate was something like 30%Alexandros wrote:srs?galeatus wrote:i bloody well hope that my LOR prof doesn't remember me cos out of the 80 lecture hours that I had with him I only attended 2...dj9i27 wrote:remember thing which is bullshit because I came to their labs for like 1.5 years including summers.TWiiX wrote:did they just not remember you? or did they not want to write something positive for you hahahadj9i27 wrote:omg I super hate you.

Makes me feel better about what will undoubtedly be very impersonal LoRs.
That makes sense, and is good to hear. It's hard to get two glowing, personal LoRs from classroom profs.galeatus wrote:He didn't say it but I think he knew exactly who I was and was just being nice and not mentioning it.Alexandros wrote:Ah - Did he know who you were?galeatus wrote:Yeah, got a B and an A in the two years that I took his courses nevertheless but basically didn't go to any lectures He didn't seem to mind cos his average attendance rate was something like 30%Alexandros wrote:srs?galeatus wrote:i bloody well hope that my LOR prof doesn't remember me cos out of the 80 lecture hours that I had with him I only attended 2...dj9i27 wrote:remember thing which is bullshit because I came to their labs for like 1.5 years including summers.TWiiX wrote:

I think as long as you have one academic LOR that's very personal (like with your project supervisor or tutor or something) then that's good, you don't really need two LoRs both from people who knew you well, though it obviously is a plus
I hate that in order to get LoRs like that, you basically have to gun and have no shame. Becoming one of those students I've always rolled my eyes at is going to suck.Alexandros wrote:That makes sense, and is good to hear.

Yeah, although the problem with those classes is usually the participation is in the form of discussion groups which are run by TAs. I think your best bet is a prof who you took a small upper-level class with. I took all of my intro level political science classes with profs I knew taught 4th year classes I'd want to take. I'm hoping that'll work in my favour.Alexandros wrote:Fucking exactly...oopsu812 wrote:I hate that in order to get LoRs like that, you basically have to gun and have no shame.

Easier if you can couple with class with in-class participation marks imo.
This is a very good idea. To be honest, I think once you get to upper-level courses, you'll always do better in a "harder" class that you are genuinely interested in, than in an "easier" class that puts you to sleep.34iplaw wrote:Take an upper-level class that most students avoid because it is perceived as work but you find interesting IMO. That's what I did, and it's one of the professors I got to know the best. It was a 6000 level class in operations consulting (basically, using Excel to model operations - i.e. build a Benihana's in Excel or develop a rule to assign guests to hotel rooms to best match preferences) and few people took it because it sounded hard / like a lot of work.
I also contributed a good amount during class, because most people didn't want to speak. Basically, the professor defaulted to just call on me after no one spoke for three minutes even though I stopped raising my hand after awhile.

On your LOR concerns, you're in neuro at Berk so a small class size lab should be available like it was for me at Berk right?
Sounds like you can't go wrong either way.chargers21 wrote:BTW, UChicago is amazing and when a few of you manage Rubies it's a no brainer. I might commit there in a few weeks which would be a complete change of course for me all within a month. I am seriously pissed that I like it as much as I do. The preftige is outa this world in a "I can just feel it in my bones as soon as I step on campus" kind of way.
