Wonder if a high SAT score (1580) compensate for the low GPA (3.7)? My kid applies as an international student and is in the same situation, unlike the situation in the US, her school (for the gifted, where best students of the country attend) generally gives a very low GPA. Other parts of the application are strong with a lot of national and international awards and prizes, including both STEM and writing prizes. I believe that if the admission officer let her pass the GPA round, they will like her.
