<human>: So I'm a junior math major/comp sci minor at a pretty decent US university and frankly, I'm scared shitless about getting into a decent grad school after undergrad.  

I've always wanted to go to grad school after undergrad, but I'm really worried about my GPA.  It's not mortifyingly terrible (2.89) but clearly its not stellar either.  It's not that I have trouble with the material, its just that my procrastination has dealt me a couple of severe blows and sometimes freeze up on tests.

I've been working with a post-doc on his research for about a year and by the time I graduate I should be co-author on two publications which I hear really helps, but I don't know how much this will compensate for my GPA.

Give it to me straight Reddit, how hard is it going to be to get into grad school?  How much do they focus on GPA, interviews, essays, etc?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I want to go to grad school for comp sci but my GPA isn't very good though I'll be co-author on two publications by the time I graduate.  How do these two things affect each other?
