<p>Hey guys! I'm an out of state female from a well-ranked public school. Just to start this off right: I have less than a 3.0 GPA, but I suffered through some serious emotional trauma and overcame outside issues and am seeking help (hence the GPA). As for everything else...</p>

<p>In the past I have taken about 6 honors courses.</p>

<p>ECs:

Started Rugby club at school

<p>I'm really worried about applying, because my GPA is in fact SO low. I want to eventually practice medicine. If I do have a chance of getting in, is it best to apply now even with my GPA or wait? :[</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Apply now, and send in the optional essay explaining your low GPA. Your ACT scores are great and will probably negate the GPA. You have nothing to gain by waiting to apply.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I didn’t find the option to submit the essay. My counselor already included it in his essay, I’m not quite sure how it all works but I think he sends it with my transcripts…</p>

<p>If your counselor has already addressed the issue, that should be enough, given your test scores.</p>

<p>Let us know what happens. : )</p>
