Trending Upward-Low GPA

I have a 3.2 GPA with 90 credit hours.

My GPA is low due to medical problems due to a rare autoimmune disease that caused severe gastroparesis, orthostatic hypotension and fatigue. I have been forced to take medical withdrawal for three semesters. Fortunately, my disease is not degenerative and I am getting better with treatment.

Will an upward trend with two years left at university neutralize the effects of a low GPA (if my GPA is really high)?

If you can get you GPA >= 3.5 by the time you apply, that would mean you did quite well the last two years and would look good.

Yes, but if you can't get your disease under control you will likely not be a good candidate for matriculation.

My disease is getting under control. My neurologist said there is always another treatment that can be tried.

I do not think I should quit due to my health. My pre-health adviser knows somebody who has MS who went to medical school and became a doctor, so it is not impossible to do.

Right now, my orthostatic hypotension is bad. I may need to get a wheelchair to get around campus without getting dizzy, fainting, or very fatigued. 👎
