<p>Recs: pretty good although i haven't read them-- I had very close relationships w/ all my teachers (and w/ my counselor) b/c they were also involved in extracurricular activities I did in school.
- I got an additional one from the Harvard Med School professor whom I worked for over the summer... We got along pretty well, but I don't know what he wrote for me on the rec. I hope it can help me somehow.. </p>

<p>Weakness/concern: My GPA is low... I took a chem class at Harvard last year and got a B+ (and also got a B+ in my junior yr math class...!). </p>

<p>Additional Info..just in case:
- Ethnicity: white??
- Income: ?? middle-class?</p>

<p>I think your GPA is fine because you have good ECs and test scores (although GPA is more important than SATs, I think).</p>

<p>Yeah…I know that GPA is more important than test scores…so I am a bit worried about this whole process. UGH.</p>
