Anyone have a miracle to share?

A 3.7 with a weighted rigourous schedule is worth more than a 4.0. So gpa without context is not so meaningful between either of these high scores, both which make you qualified, but neither which gain you admission without looking at the entire package: SAT
s, EC’s, LORs and everything else.

But for the OP, my daughter was admitted to Brown and other selective schools with a 3.7 . That was 5 years ago, admission was tough then, but tougher now. She is in grad school right now, which I mention to show that she performed well enough at Brown to be admitted to PhD track programs. Don’t get too hung up on just one part of your application, although good grades shouldn’t be underestimated, true.
