I'm almost positive this question has been raised before, but I wasn't able to find it (after sifting through the forums), my apologies! 
 
I have really poor undergraduate grades, and I'm not being modest, I mean in the 2.0's - this was largely due to being a caregiver for my parent. However, I'm currently in a top-ten MFA program, where I have a 4.0 and am scheduled to present academic papers in two major conferences, one internationally. I also have taken a slew of graduate-level academic courses, and have reading knowledge in 3 languages and know the specifics of what I want to study. Perhaps I score high on the GRE and subject test, and have awesome letters, would my undergraduate record matter much?
 
I'm worried that's the first thing they see. Thanks for help! Newbie here.

Yeah, super accurate! I think the biggest thing that hurt my applications this year was my writing sample; it wasn't in my subfield. I had my advisors and several colleagues give me feedback, and granted, I felt it was the best writing sample I could give, but it was nowhere near 19th century British literature.
