GPA was the only real concern. It would be better if I had a 3.8.

I don't base on the data collected from the websites, because those are limited data and do not capture the entire pool. Some of your responses reiterates that fact, from what you've claimed to know about all past applicants. I will say I can provide at least 5 counterexamples, and I fit in with those same applicants.

I had reasons for believing I can get into Columbia with my numbers, and was testing if TLS is truly accurate in its predictions. Thanks for the advice to those who genuinely helped. To those who merely flamed, I hope you don't end up at my school.

Well with those numbers you wont get into Duke/UVA either. We don't want you here.

Would love to hear your counterexamples.

So the point of the thread was to check TLS' work? And TLS failed? Is that right?

OP I'm serious about the counterexamples you speak of. If there is a shadow world of non-URM applicants with numbers both below medians getting into T6 schools, I think we'd all love to know more about them and how they did it.

This is true.

Given your numbers and the fact that so many TLS users aim for T6 schools, I don't think you need to be worried about going to school with them...
