@Posie15 I ended up putting some minor comments in the “additional information” section due to suggestions that writing an essay regarding it might come off as pity-seeking and, therefore, disingenuous. I definitely hope for them to understand how things like my anxiety disorder have made school very difficult for me, organization-wise; however, I’m not sure that that will come across during their review of my application.

@Jacell Thank you for responding! I certainly hope that my test scores and ECs are enough to overcome my GPA deficit; however, I am very worried, ATM. I submitted my app on the 31st, so I’ve yet to receive a decision.

As an addition, my ACT did not go through, for some reason. When I checked the site, it said that my OSU score send had failed due to a payment failure, so I had to send it about a week before the deadline. I messaged the OSU admission email and was told that it is not going to affect my application, likely. Will this hurt my chances?
