Any chance of getting into T14 with STEM backgrounds and average grades?
I have a fairly strong stem background with just about average grades from one of the schools in the 20s. I think I would have had much stronger grades this semester but my school went for mandatory pass/fail so I am stuck with the average gpa. Would I have any chances in success of going into T14? Would schools potentially be more flexible in fall semester grades and weigh more heavily on my resume/stem background?

Re: Any chance of getting into T14 with STEM backgrounds and average grades?
Spivey's podcast on this year's transfer process in light of Coronavirus indicated that grades will still be the highest consideration, and maybe there will be a bit more emphasis on undergraduate performance. If I had to guess, this emphasis will probably benefit your situation only if your STEM background includes a high GPA or prestigious undergrad. That's just conjecture from my end derived from the podcast though.
What's your GPA/Class Rank looking like? It seems that will still be the first thing that schools are going to look at.
