How about a junior with a 2370 SAT, and a ~3.86 unweighted GPA? I also expect to get some 750+ on some science subject tests. I know my unweighted gpa is absolutely terrible, but I cannot blame my lack of interest in history courses. I have taken a few science/mathematics courses in community colleges and have maintained perfect a’s there. I also have a massive research experience in aging (my life goal is to cure aging), plan to participate in the USABO, and plan to have a research paper published soon. I also founded a biology club at my school and I have positions in 3 other clubs.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that my UWGPA is simply repulsive. Will this yield an automatic rejection (I’m asking not only about MIT, but also the Ivies)?
