Well this is terrible news. I've been avoiding a master's program since my late thesis advisor and PI advised against it.
If that GPA wont get past you guys, what chance to I have at an admissions panel.
You never know until you try, gurl. I say GO FOR IT. I mean, you've clearly demonstrated that you're capable of producing good work (via your badass stint @ MIT and mutliple publications) and will probably get some good reccomendatinos. Of course, I'm not an admissions rep., but I don't see why a program shouldn't take you just because you got some shittay grades when you were 18.
You can surely walk the walk. Now make those bastards accept you.

Hey, y'all,
Was just wondering how much--if at all--winning the Goldwater Scholarship affects your application. I'll be looking at "top" immunology/virology programs, with a decent GPA (3.75+).
DANKE!
