I am looking to apply to a MArch program in the US, but I’m worried about my undergraduate GPA.
I received a 2.989 and hope it would count as a 3.0 - Does anyone know if this is possible? I unfortunately let my grades slip with a disability and understand the repercussions.
I plan on taking the GRE to help support my application and I have a strong portfolio and references.

I was a student rep on the admissions committee at Columbia GSAPP. No one will care about your GPA as long as your portfolio is strong. A decent GRE score would also help minimize any questions about academic ability.

Professors can actually go back in and change grades after you've graduated, so id there was a project you bombed and felt you could do better or had existential circumstances that prevented you from putting forward your best work it might be worth a shot to reach out.
Its rare, but one of my professors told he he did it for a student who was in the military. Idk your circumstances, but if you can make a case for yourself it might be worth a try.
