Hi! So I am getting a LOR from a doctor I did research with for one summer, and have kept in touch with over the last two years. He adores me and thinks I am wonderful, incredibly smart, etc, and is very open about his praise. He has said he cannot imagine me not getting into a top school (which is just not going to happen). BUT he has formed this impression based on getting to know me and hearing about my non-academic accomplishments, not based on my grades or MCAT scores...grades are on the low side with upward trend, MCAT is fine, but nothing to write home about. My "numbers" have never even come up in conversation, and I think he just assumes they are great.
When I give him information for the LOR (by tomorrow morning), do I need to give him my grades? I feel bad not providing them, like I'm hiding something, but at the same time, I don't want him to think less of me. I think very highly of him and his support of me means so much, and I don't want to lose that by showing him what he may see as a serious deficiency. 🙁
Anyone been in this situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
