Unless you win an Intel contest (and even some of those people don't get in) then with below a 3.8 and [b]no special status (ie not white male or Asian) you won't get in[/b].

I was a science major. You do realize that once you get past the memorization that science is ALL writing (grants, papers, etc.). To succeed you must be able to communicate your thoughts clearly.[/quote]

Sexist much?[/quote]Trifling much?[/quote]
