Late LOR's

[mdterps83]

I have been a very bad pre-med student. I have obtained 1 science letter and 1 non-scienc letter, along with various EC ones. I plan on applying this year. My question is this, will obtaining a LOR from a summer school prof hurt my app?

The only way it could hurt is that it is submitted late to the medical schools. Outside of that, if you think it's going to be genuine and a good recommendation, go for it.

Have you thought about asking the prof midway through the summer like in late-June, when you've had half of the class sessions (but not all) of the course? That could be an option.
