<p>If you can provide a copy of your circumstances on a separate paper or write an essay about how you were resilient, I am sure the college will understand. 3.2 GPA isn’t that bad either and you have an upward trend. Getting 36 on the ACT is not a joke(very rare) so the college will obviously know that you are ready to handle the course load. You need to apply to every school you want. Never think a 3.2 will hold you back.</p>
