Get the best recs that you can. Get the cutest picture of you that you can. Be flexible. In some houses the gpa is a huge consideration. In others, not as much. (I am not referring to a low gpa as ok with some houses. It isn't.) A very high gpa may help you in other houses.
Yes, the girls will "see" that you rushed before. There are some houses that may have a problem with that...some may not. You have friends in some houses: be open, honest with your friends and ask them directly what they suggest that may help you.

You can also mention it to your rec-writers. They may include a note saying that you were unable to finish due to a family emergency or whatever.
