I recently interviewed for a computer science/engineering type internship. I got an email today from the HR people saying they would like me to join as an intern and asked if I could provide 2 letters of rec from my professors.

My dilemma is that I go to a big school, all the compsci classes I've ever taken have been at the least 100 students. I never really got much of a chance to know many professors, so how do I go about getting letters of rec? I have been at the same internship for 2 years - I can get great letters of rec from them, is that a suitable replacement?

I would try to get a letter of recommendation from your department advisor as well as someone at your current internship... that should suffice.

Try getting it from a non-CS prof... IMO, even the internship letters should work out fine...

i goto a big university too, i find that it works well if u just ask the professor, most dont mind wipping one up and most already have a general one that they hand out to students who ask...
