I attended community college for two years and then transferred last year to a university. I have two more semesters until I complete my B.A. in Political Science and I have an avid interest in continuing my studies in political science. However, I am incredibly concerned about the prospect of being able to obtain recommendations. I have only had graduate students teaching my courses or visiting professors and the single full-time professor I had retired in the fall, after I had a class with him. I have doubts that graduate schools will want recommendations from community college professors with whom I had actually developed relations. I suppose they would actually want to see recs from those of higher academic levels- right? If my applications are mostly due by spring or prior, then what is a transfer student supposed to do? Is less than a year adequate time to be considered a reference source? Have any other transfer students gone through this ordeal? Do undergrad transfer students normally not go after graduate school? Should I just put aside applying to graduate school? My school adviser is of absolutely no help. His advice was that those in my situation just don't try for graduate school and that I probably would not make it since I spent two years at community college. It seemed off-base to me, so I figured I'd ask around, just to see if this was perhaps the case. Thanks in advance for your help or any input you can provide!
