apumic,

Almost NO ONE at my school gets 3.7 GPA. I certainly couldn’t pull that off. I go to a top liberal arts college, similar to Ivy League. Also did you see how I said that the average GPA for one of the programs i’m looking at is 3.45?

By the way, minor point but I actually think I’ll be able to graduate with more like 3.1 GPA at least.

I am NOT staying in college, any longer, however. I’ve got 2 semester left, and as it is I’m going 1 semester extra.

Also, I said that before I apply I may have publications and I anticipate having high GRE scores (2 things you mention).
