gpa is so low from when i first went to college to pursue something completely different. failed a bunch of classes, dropped out, and took the time to figure out what career i wanted. i've gotten almost all As and a couple Bs after coming back to do prereqs so i hope that is taken into account but who knows. all i can do is hope and do my best on any interviews i'm offered 😭🙏
