A few questions about applying...

I got pretty sick for a month last year, which seriously impacted my GPA. Can I write about it in Essay C?
I don’t have a rank because I go to such a small school (19-20 in my senior class, give or take a few). UT apparently assigns a rank for you if your school doesn’t rank, but how do they do that when you have such a small class? My school is pretty competitive, the average GPA of my class is low anyway (3.1) and mine is a 3.3 thanks to being sick. The average SAT is a 1740 and mine is a 2100…does UT take that into account?
Will sending in an expanded resume + a couple of awesome teacher recs help? I’m not applying to the most competitive schools, just Liberal Arts and Social Work.
Can I send in everything else early (like by the end of September) and wait until it’s October to send in my SAT scores, or will that affect my application?


Sorry if this is tl;dr, I’m just stressing hardcore about this whole application thing thanks to my suck SAT and my inability to be able to take the SAT until October :/
