Hey guys,

I am currently a senior student in UCSD and I major in biochemistry.
Cumulative GPA 3.42/4.0 MAJOR GPA 3.63/4.0 GRE 154 V + 165 Q + 3.5 W
I have 1 year research in TSRI and 3 months internship in central disease control.
I want to apply Columbia University and Cornell University. Is that a huge reach or there is a very possible chance that I can be accepted? I checked that Columbia University has a average GPA of 3.63, am I too low for this?

Thank you
