How do older students get into grad school? I'm 7 years out of college now and I'm thinking of going back to school to eventually get my doctorate. The thing is, when you're this far removed from college, how do you get prof recommendations to get into grad school? I barely remember them, who the heck knows if they remember me? How do people normally go about this?
Do you just email the prof and say 'hey do you remember me, could you write a rec for me?"
