- Math grades not good in undergraduate courses

Thank you for your time.

Not good enough. 770 Q is unacceptable for top school because it's not hard and majority of applicants score 800. Your "not good" math grades are not helping either.
You can play to your work experience, get extremely strong letter of reco and write impressive essay. If you are in NYC, you can apply part-time there.

Thanks Andy.

Dear Aiflin,

In order to have a better idea of the strengh of you application, maybe what you can do is compare yours to the other applicants one from IIT.

My 2 cents

Wish you the best,

Paul
