I am from a very competitive school in Washington. USC is my dream school, however my gpa is below what most people have there. There have been some circumstances which have impacted my grades (both parents had serious forms of cancer throughout my whole high school). Do you think if I explain my circumstances to school it could help my chances? Or is my gpa too low? I have taken 10 AP classes.
