I am going to be a senior in materials engineering at UIUC. My gpa is 3.63. I have already been an undergrad research assistant for 2 years. I am taking the GRE in the summer. However, I had to replace 2 classes because I had a bad sophomore year. How much will this hurt my chances of getting into a great graduate school for materials engineering like Northwestern or Stanford?
