My GPA is 2.26 range, however, the class average was 2.35.
I did some research and found out that undergraduate averages are 3.30 - 3.50 in ivy league schools.
I understand that my GPA well below par, but given the 'well below par' class average, how does this translate to adcom' view? Do I have a shot?
You need to provide the class average in your application just as you provided it above. That's the only way you will have a chance. I wouldn't say it's a great chance, but it's a chance.
Best,
Linda
