I received and award. E/E VG/E E/VG Stats: Life Sciences field, 2nd year grad student, 3 publications (first author in a BMC journal, second author in Science, middle author in PNAS) and 4 more in prep, 6 presentations (2 international, 3 national, 1 local), undergrad GPA: 3.3, grad GPA: 4.0 with multiple A+'s, GRE 1380. I have a lot as far as broader impacts but I concentrated on an experience where I worked with student teachers, helping them integrate original research into labs and lesson plans for inner-city kids. I am a female from an underrepresented minority. All of my reviewers made a big deal out of the publications and my recommendations. One actually said that my undergrad GPA was poor but it didn't matter because my publication record proved that I can do research.
