@kappaloris: I have never taken grades as something important, what I wanted to express is that this is my only official way to prove something to a "great" university. And I want to be in such a place in order to meet extraordinary people. As for essays and recommendations - I can write great essays and I have already started the process of collecting recommendations. @caw: Helpful information, thanks.
