How to get academic letters of recommendation?

[cookderosa]

Any program that won't accept letters from employers, won't accept proctor evals. Even classes at TESC are not taught by professors- only mentors- offering very little help. I ditto Perrik's post, and add that some grad schools want graded credits- so look before you leap. I purposefully took all my "in major" credits as classes for this reason (and testing out of 51 gen eds). If a specific grad school is high on your list- make your undergrad process SERVE YOU, don't be a slave to the method of testing just because you can. *I don't know your age, but if you are mid-career, I'd still try and slip in strong employer/work letters- especially if you work with/for someone who has a grad degree and don't overlook the possibility of an alumni referral- that is always good.
Good luck!
