clark atlanta university advice

hi! i’m a rising senior and clark atlanta is my dream school. during covid i fell into a terrible mental space and i failed all my classes freshman year which set me with a horrible gpa that hasn’t recovered as much. i have a 950 sat and a 2.5 gpa and i worry that it’s not enough.

did anyone attend cau recently w a low gpa and stuff that got in? how was your experience and what was college essay about?
