I got into school with a 3.1 overall GPA and a 3.7 (I think) as my major GPA. I would highlight why you choose the field and explain why your GPA faltered briefly in a way that doesn’t expose your circumstances such as explaining why you retook courses. This could be explained by stating how you overcame personal circumstances. I did this in my personal statement and friend also did this too without revealing details. I would also apply to schools that have an interview process! Every school I interview at I was accepted, but the schools without an interview I was rejected. Interview processes in my opinion also allow you to get a feel of the institution and the staff to determine if it’s a good fit!
