<p>I realize my shots aren't great, but I'm still going to give it a shot anyway.</p>

<p>Required? It’s my understanding they’ll look at everything you send. Since you’re definitely a borderline case at best–I’m in the same boat, so I know how you feel–I’d send along a few strong recommendations from professors.</p>
