Slight chance for GULC and Cornell. No chance for others. Retake for 170+.
But if you want to do IP, GWU with $$ is a reasonable choice.

"No chance" is a little harsh. Engineering & Patent bar eligible applicants have been known to out-perform their numbers a bit.BKB wrote:Slight chance for GULC and Cornell. No chance for others. Retake for 170+.
166 is a weird middle ground score in between being too low and decent. Since T14 is your goal, you really should retake for better options and more scholarship money.

Yes. They don't have reportable gpa's. Canada is an exception and those gpa's are reported normally.nlee10 wrote:Is that how international applications work? haha.Dirigo wrote:International, so I'm assuming OP doesn't have one.nlee10 wrote:GPA?

I'd say there's a chance. I'm sitting on a 166 (retake in Dec.) and I've been accepted into Georgetown. I'd blanket the T14 and see what sticks.

Are you an international applicant?(gpa superior?)
if not, how is your gpa? higher than gt median?

Re: international 166/above average /elec. engineering
No, I'm domestic, 3.8 gpa. What worked for me were my softs, which are heavy IP focused, and yours seem to go that way too. I do have an advanced degree, which does tip the scales a bit. I don't know how much a demonstrated history in one of the few fields of law which is still hiring heavily does, but it certainly can't hurt.atlantiz wrote:wow gt with 166 is great!antiworldly wrote:I'd say there's a chance.

Re: international 166/above average /elec. engineering
thank you for sharing your stat. and idea
I think your decent gpa definitely also played a role in admission process.
I also have an advance degree in engineering. hope it and working experience will help!!
thanks again.

Re: international 166/above average /elec. engineering
With your patent-holding status, I think you have a decent shot at IP friendly T14--GULC. But I think you should definitely retake!atlantiz wrote:international

Re: international 166/above average /elec. engineering
Unclear in OP's case, but non-US citizens generally are ineligible to sit for the US patent bar except in limited circumstances (work-related). Shouldn't matter for admission in my opinion, but you never know.Dirigo wrote: "No chance" is a little harsh.

Re: international 166/above average /elec. engineering
Looooong time lurker. Finally posting because I want you to be encouraged. I got a 166 twice (which was way discouraging after PTing around 172-174 but that's a long story) and have a 3.85+ GPA. I've recently been accepted to Georgetown, Michigan, UMN, and UVA and am awaiting responses from 8 more schools. So despite those who might say "no chance," you have a chance.
