This thread is definitely inspiring to me...I'm a current senior at Princeton with a 2.7...the exams here are unbelievable I always feel I know the material and then am just destroyed by the exam. If anyone out there is involved in biology, would you mind sharing some of the schools you applied to as safety schools? It isn't helpful to talk to the grad students here because they all did fantastic in undergrad. I think the rest of my application will be good...I'm extremely passionate about biology and discovery, doing research currently, GRE Verbal 197, Math 160, Writing 5. I know my GPA is awful though and so any and all advice would be amazing!! Thank you.
