As i said before, most graduate programs require a GPA of3.0 or more and so your options may be significantly limited with a GPA below that. This might be different for a radiation therapy certification as my understanding is that entry level positions in this field do not necessarily require a Bachelor’s degree. Please realize that extracurricular activities are not really important for graduate programs. They care about academic performance.

What you need to do is to take the GRE as soon as possible and then find a couple of programs that are not highly selective and apply by early January. Be prepared to self-fund the degree, particularly if it is more of a professional degree like radiation therapy. Also, be prepared to look for a job and defer your graduate program until later.
