Since taking the GRE, I've received a number of admissions recruitment e-mails from great schools that I am really interested in (HKS, SAIS, Yale, Berkeley, Chicago, etc.). I have high GRE scores, strong language skills, 4+ years of international work experience, and good LORs, but I was not planning to apply to any of these schools because I have a fairly low GPA (3.2/4.00). I'm still very curious about the e-mails I'm getting and would love to correspond with the admissions office, but I'm not sure what is the best way to address the obvious weakness in my application. Are these e-mails just a way to drive application numbers up or are they worth replying to? Has anyone had a good experience responding to a recruitment e-mail? What is the best way to begin a conversation with the admissions office?
