Chances? (illness messed up my gpa, so I have no idea)

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I've had some medical problems since the second half of freshman year that's caused me to miss school, but I've kept my UW GPA at a 2.96. I haven't taken the SAT yet, but my PSAT estimates that I'll score between 1030-1230 for Critical Reading/Math.I go to a private high school ranked among the top 50 Catholic High Schools in the nation (no idea if this helps). I've taken honors and advanced math classes.
Would explaining my medical condition help with my low GPA at all when applying to colleges?</p>

<p>It’s impossible to chance anyone who hasn’t taken the SAT or the ACT.</p>

<p>And yes, explaining your health condition would probably help when applying to college, in fact, most applications I’ve encountered include a section where you are to explain anything that is weird about your application.</p>

<p>Would a higher SAT/ACT score offset my lower GPA?</p>

<p>(I’m taking them this month/next month, so I should have the scores soon)</p>
