Hello, I have a low cumulative GPA (3.25) from UC Berkeley with a major GPA of about 3.58. I suffer from a mental illness and was unmedicated for most of my undergrad, causing my grades to suffer. Will this hinder my chances of getting into a PhD program? I have a 163 in GRE Verbal which I am retaking because I was very ill when I took it last, and two of my letters of recommendations are coming from Columbia professors, as I recently took some English classes at Columbia since I have been away from school for a long time. I would also appreciate advice on how I can make my application more competitive.
