Would retroactive withdraws be worth it for an extreme 2.7/178 splitter?

I am a splitter 2.7/178 with 5-10 years removed from undergrad.
The reason my law school computed gpa is low is because while I did well every semester, I had one semester fall 2011 where I missed virtually the whole semester being so ill and didn’t withdraw from 5 courses and received grades of SF (stopped attending failure)
Since I had a bona fide medical excuse and can have a physician write me a letter and school has a retroactive withdraw or exception to registration petition process, if this can potentially boost one from 2.7 to 3.0-3.1 should I take it?
Couldn’t this be a deal breaker between ucla, northwestern or Georgetown since I have a 178 or will 2.7 to 3.1 not make that much difference to try to petition
