<p>I've been in high track classes throughout my high school career, and I only touched on the most important of my EC's. I wrote them 2 letters explaining why my grades kind of suck (family problems) and explaining why I would be a good choice after I was postponed. I also included two new letters of recomendation which I think are solid and give a better outlook on me than the first two.</p>
<p>The D- is what I'm worried about. I was pushed into Calculus by my teacher, and am the first kid at my school to ever take Calc without taking pre-calc first. I wrote about a paragraph in one of the letters I wrote explaining the situation, mentioning that I am the first person in my school to ever make the jump, and how the other 2 kids who tried dropped out.</p>
<p>Anyone know how I'm looking for the second review of my app?</p>
