<p>Recs: guidance counselor loves me- it was probs really good, but i didnt read it; teacher recs were from physics teacher and calc teacher- both love me, i read my calc teachers- it was really good; ive known my physics teacher since freshman yr, i was only freshman taking physics and know i have her again for AP Physics</p>

<p>Looks pretty good to me. Any reason you're doing business instead of a technical field? You seem to be pretty good in the sciences, a minor or something of the sort in engineering would be a fantastic boost to your resume during job fairs.</p>

<p>yea sciences are actually my strong point, i was thinking about doing a minor in bio or something to keep my options open for med school. i applied to the business school because even with the business background i can still go into medicine or law, if i choose not to get an MBA. and i really like their business program.</p>
