I have read that grad schools typically don’t post average gpas, but that the top ones are looking for gpas well over 3.5. I also have seen gre scores for the different schools, but these numbers often are very aggregated, and I don’t know how they weight the different components. What do you think would be the chances of admission to a top biomedical/genetic/computational engineering program (eg Berkeley, MIT etc) of a an Ivy league engineering school biomed major undergrad with a 3.65 gpa, a gre quant score of 800 but only a 530 verbal, and lab work in the area the past three years for both university professors and Sloan Kettering (with excellent recommendations)? Is the gpa too low for top programs? Will the verbal score be a significant problem (grades in humanities courses at the university were nearly all A’s and A-s)? Thanks
