I am a low stats applicant (3.4 cGPA 3.14 sGPA) and want to use the optional secondary sections to explain my low gpa which was due to chronic health issues that required a lot of doctor visits and treatments but I’m not sure if adcoms will be understanding about that? I also took the MCAT twice, got a 495 the first time because I could literally not afford any prep material and had to rely on free resources which turned out to be not representative at all (did not know about FAP). Once I found out about FAP I was able to improve my score 6 points to a 501 because I had more accessible resources but do you guys think I should explain these circumstances?
