I recognize that I am far from a perfect applicant, so hoping to do well on the GMAT to make up for a bad GPA. I also plan on using the additional essay to explain the extenuating circumstances below.
Extenuating Circumstances: bad gpa a combination of helping family during cancer battle and eventual death of father, some mental health struggles
Please let me know if you have any advice or suggestions as well! Thanks!
