After doing a bit of research i saw that the average high school gpa acceptance is 3.6 to 4.0 so I’m a good bit under. I did graduate a year early, passed 3 AP classes along with all of the tests, got a 1230 on the SAT, and have a very good teacher that can write me a letter of recommendation. I was also dealing with a lot of family issues while i was in school that led to me missing a number of days and my low gpa as a result. I was wondering if i included all of that in a very carefully written letter if i had a good chance at getting accepted. Thank you for any advice in advance
