Profile check — MSc Computational Science and Engineering,

[u/Silly-Self9149]

I did my Btech in Engineering physics , IIT Dhanbad , India. My undergrad work is heavily focused on Numerical simulations , GPU/HPC and data in 2 major domains - Astrophysics and CFD. I can say my projects and exposure (such as interns) are relatively high and I had valuable experiences and LORs. But my biggest concern is not the profile but my GPA is just 8/10 ( in swiss scale 5/6).
EPFL seems to weigh raw GPA pretty heavily, and an 8/10 from a tier 1 Indian university seems pretty low (I guess) .
How much does strong research output offset a GPA that isn't top-tier? Anyone with a similar profile who got in (or didn't) willing to share what mattered most in their case?
I need to know is there any chances to get or is it completely out of reach ?
Thank you for reading!

You are ruled out from ETH, probably EPFL too, but you should apply anyways.
