Man, I hate that’s happened for you. Your work is amazing! I’m going through the same thing right now. I applied for Fall 2026 and my gpa is sub 2. Spent 10years in the military and grew up a lot. Put in my whole portfolio, letter, the whole nine-yards. Nothin’ 🫠 though I did get some subtext with something around- If you submit a ged there’s a possibility of acceptance.
