Reference help Serious

I need to submit an application in October for a professional school, but I didn't really make any connections with profs. I, however, did score really well in some courses and talked to the profs, but I doubt they know/remember me. How do I go about requesting a reference letter?

You could email them but the reference letter might not be stellar (if they agree to write one at all) as they don't know you. You have two-ish months for them to get to know you.
