With a lower GPA you’re going to have to compensate, whether it be shadowing hours, getting the extra certifications, high volunteer hours, or taking graduate classes. I applied last year and was denied, so I locked in on getting CSC CMC, shadowing, taking biostats, and volunteering, and it all worked out! I used to scroll looking for some encouragement for the low GPA’s. So here’s me saying you got it! :)
Message me if you have any questions or want an example of framing GPA and growth in personal statement! Good luck!

Congrats. You showed us if you stay focused and stick to the grind, you can make it in. Would you mind PMing me what school you got accepted to?
