Hi ljordanf,

Going by part two of the question-The Application has a section that allows students to elaborate on anything that you feel is important for the admission committee to know while evaluating your candidature. It could be relating to academics or even your personal history.

Your GPA could be a hurdle so you should use the application's section that allows students to elaborate on anything that you feel is important for the admission committee to know while evaluating your candidature. Use this place wisely to explain and prove to the admission committee that your GPA won't be an issue. If you can tell in your application about any extra classes or courses you undertook in the subjects that you did not do well. This would highlight your zeal to learn and improve and in turn improve your low GPA situation.
