<p>I mean I guess I have a good SAT score, but my GPA is weak and I am an Indian Male.</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>the gpa is kind of low. i interviewed an admission offers before and he said the number one thing they look for is gpa/consistency/strength of academic courses. the guy even told me that sat's are not that important. so i would work on raising the gpa. but your other stuff is really great! especially how you did research.</p>
<p>are you international?</p>
<p>if so, you don't have a raindrop's chance in heck</p>
<p>jk, jk, jk, if your rec's and essays rock, I know several other pro-fos who have comparable scores</p>
<p>Of course it's possible - your GPA/scores really aren't as bad as you think. I think you have a great shot if you have good essays and not ask for fin aid.</p>
<p>We have almost same stats except you have awesome research experience(s) and I have some good awards. I think our chances are very low.</p>
