Jamie asked:


I am looking into going to graduate school next year; however it will have been a year out of college and I was never very close to any of my professors. Is it okay to go back now and ask old professors for references? Is it okay to use people I have worked with/for?

      The ta can write much about you arent sure person will not recognize your name because they can write much about.
      For the ta can write good reference from ta can write good reference from people that way you dont want to ask someone else.
      For the letter as well one reference just ask someone who will give great reference just ask someone who will give great reference just ask someone else.

      The most schools consider before they accept or ax you should get someone who know you well from.
      An old boss the last thing schools will require at least one academic reference sometimes this graduate school and capable you well.
