<p>I don't know if I can evaluate my own recommendation letters or essays
but my GPA is barely 3.0 which is even below some school's minimum requirements.
But I have a 760 V/ 800 M/ waiting and I am pretty confident in my SOP.
I've only seen people with high GPAs post their stories(?)
and I could only start with the national graduate school rankings.
So I'm desperate to know if I can or cannot apply to schools like
Georgetown, UC Berkeley, or Johns Hopkins?
If they all seem too unrealistic goals, could anybody please give me some guidance
as in what schools may be more probable for me to also get funding?</p>
