My cumulative GPA is at least 2.60 (Preference for all clinics)

My cumulative GPA is between 2.33 and 2.60 and I am requesting a GPA waiver

I recognize that clinical work takes a significant time commitment.  I have read the description of work required for each of the clinics to which I am applying, and I am able to make the time commitment to perform an excellent job on behalf of my clients, notwithstanding any AWR, work-related, or other obligations. If chosen for a clinic I will discuss the obligations with the Professor before accepting a position in the clinic.

You may note your prior or intended future commitment to public interest work, or to the client base served by one or more of the clinics, or describe any special qualifications or interest you bring to one or more of the clinics.  If you are requesting a GPA waiver, you should explain why it should be granted.  You may also explain or clarify your answers to any of the other questions asked.
