Sorry to bother with the whole "chances" thing. But I've done a lot of research but can't find much specific info about graduate school. I'm a physics major and am hoping to go to graduate school and study geophysics or some other combination of earth science and physics. Schools I would like to attend include Stanford, UT Austin, MIT, Cornell, WashU, Etc. I've got a GPA of 3.42 and am pursuing a BS in physics. I participated in the REU program at Texas A&M over this past summer, so I got some research experience there. I'm also Hispanic...does that benefit applicants for graduate school as it does for undergrad? So I know you can't give me chances this early in the game, but I mainly want to know if my GPA is too low for now. I can bring it up, but what really constitutes a competitive GPA for grad school admissions? What other things should I do during my undergraduate years to get into a graduate school like Stanford? Thanks.
