Is a poor GPA an instant deny at high level schools?

Pushed through Social Impact and Entrepreneurship and tied it to my internationally awarded Nonprofit. ECs: Huge Nonprofit — impacted 100k+ Students, C-Levels from Fortune 500s advising us, Internationally Awarded via publications and news recognition. Gained a Prestigious Fellowship and Youth Board Slot as a result of this. Got offered an Executive spot on a multi-million dollar startup, I turned it down after a couple weeks of work. MUN - ONE of the top competitors in my entire region Youth Commission — Chaired a Regional Youth Commission MUN Pres, Debate Pres, Finance Club Pres, other random stuff... Top 10.1% when I applied, 3.8 UW, 32 [Superscore:35, ikr..], Japanese Male from New York. Random Public. My Advice: Find a cool project you want to undertake and pursue it from now until December. You don’t know how much success you’ll see if you consistently work on a project for that long. It can be a Nonprofit, Business, Advocacy. Research. The aim needs to be big though. Also EA to a bunch of state schools but don’t ED to privates bc you’re gonna want to bring that GPA up. My Results: I was accepted to UPENN (Wharton), Claremont Mckenna, Emory, UCI, and U of A. Couple of CUNY/SUNY Waitlisted: UCSB, UCD, UCLA, Northeastern, Umich Rejected: USC, Northwestern, UCB, UCSD, Yale, Stanford, Brown
