While I agree that 3.8/34 is relatively common (I am in this boat and have been disappointed so far with my progress) in applications to harvard, I think its a bit of an exaggeration to say you need to have discovered an allele or be published in Nature/Science/Cell while working from a PC with Sat. uplink during your peace corps work...
Oh, BTW, I applied to HMS...haven't heard from them yet. A good friend of mine interviewed there 6 weeks ago, but she's a 3.97/38T Yale graduate, so then you might expect she'd get an interview.•••
Ah...but you see, I never said explicitly that you needed that to get into harvard...I just said that it WOULD HELP
Having a 3.9 and lots of ECs like that...
As for your friend...yea...she's a model too...so that helps her out
