Grad school after Peace Corps? Letters of rec? Nervous...

You've already been given some great advice. Something else I'd add that I did, and am grateful for doing, is asking professors for letters before going to peace corps. I explained to them that I'd be gone for two years but intended to apply when I was done and asked whether the would be willing to jot down some notes about me in a document somewhere for when I was ready. All three were happy to do so. I've tried to keep in touch with them, but I know that even if they forget me a bit, they'll have those notes sitting around to jog their memories for when it's time to actually write the letters. In general my professors were all really happy with what I was doing and were happy to do a little extra to help me out
