With Low GPA, But having SCI publications, will I get admitted by any Universities?


Question

Posted

Hello everyone. I'm a Chinese student who just got BS degree in bioengineering this summer. I want to pursue my Ph.D degree in the USA. However, My undergraduate GPA is pretty low. it's just 2.7. But I have several publications: 

1). Two first-author SCI publications(impact factor are 3.07 and 4.99). 

2). One co-author top computer conference paper(which has been selected as the 2016 AMIA TBI student paper award).

3). One first-author SCI paper in progress (with high possibility to be accepted by journals with IF 2~3). 

I have asked someone in my country. They suggested me to take MS course first. But due to high tuition fee, I prefer to applying for Ph.D program directly. I have some dream schools in my mind, such as UCSD, oregon state, u of Colorado-boulder, UGA, UT-houston and so on. So I wonder if I have the possibility to be admitted by my dream universities? or at least, by any top 200 universities in the America?
