Hey - can you shed a bit more light on your undergrad? Was there a trend? Any particularly rough quarters / semesters? Have you worked on an alternative transcript? That's by far the most glaring red flag here so would love to get a bit more info!

I had an upwards GPA (3.33 cum the last three semesters). Basically, I did awful my first two years of college, and did much better my junior and senior years. I do not have an alternative transcript as I do not want to pay thousands of dollars for credits just to show an adcom.. hey look I can get higher than a D in Art History
