I'm dying.... deadline only just passed and I'm obsessing already through my email

I have submitted all my apps but one recommender still has not submitted my LOR to any of the schools I applied to.... Its driving me nuts and I'm trying to figure out how to nicely yell at him to submit before Monday at midnight

All of the UC schools say they don't have a GRE cutoff. I wish they would just say what they want from an applicant directly. I was considering retaking the GRE but the thought alone gives me heart palpitations. I dont want to be rejected just over a low GRE score. Perhaps I should just buckle down and retake it.

HEY GUYS, I'm so nervous for this application season to start. My first time around so here goes: Undergrad Institution: Private, pretty well known in sciences Major(s):Biology GPA in Major: 3.04 Overall GPA: Position in Class: No idea Master's GPA: 3.75 Type of Student: Domestic/female GRE Scores (revised/old version): Q: 152 (54%) V: 154 (56%) W: 4.0 (56%) B: Research Experience: 1.5 years of research for my master's doing protein classification and DNA sequencing which culminated in 2 poster presentations and a thesis dissertation. Now I work in dementia and alzheimer's research for the past year. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Award Gradaute assistantship for my second year. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Was am adjunct Professor for one semester at the local community college. Now I am a research technician at a mental health institute. Any Miscellaneous Accomplishments that Might Help: Special Bonus Points:Have a Master's in Molecular Biology (not sure if that counts) Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Applying to Where: UC Irvine -Interdepartmental Neuroscience - Neuroscience, Molecular Biology UC Santa Cruz-Molecular Biology UC San Diego - Molecular Biology, Neuroscience UC Davis- Molecular Biology UCLA- Biochem and Mol Bio UC Santa Barbara Hoping I seem competitive enough to get in. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
