How justifiable/forgiveable are bad grades/MCAT scores during an interview?

I got an interview at my undergrad school which was my first choice. I have C's my freshman and sophomore year. I was working 30-40 hours a week on an extremely busy schedule (through all years of undergrad). During my junior year, there was an overseas death in which i missed 2 weeks of classes for and had a W and a D. It was my only/last grandparent and I felt as if it was more important to see her for the last time before she passed. The semester after that I got an A in 3 hard upper level bio classes (genetics, microbial genetics and another) but got a D in animal physiology due to personal problems. I didn't realize how odd it looked until I really looked at my application.

As for my MCAT it was also not that great… Took it without having biochem and completely bombed the physiology and sociology section because I had a terrible throbbing migraine and couldn't concentrate. It's not that I can handle long tests it's just that a migraine came at a very bad time. It's so low it's obvious something went terribly wrong there (compared to the other sections).

I feel bad because I feel as if I have way too many excuses and it makes me look bad. I am also worried because besides the work I didn't mention my bad grades in either of my applications. They know I foreign (1st born generation in the US) but that obviously doesn't mean they'll be able to deduce any bad grades from that. I am worried the rest of the adcom besides the 2 people who will interview me will see it as bad and vote against me.

The good news is my school interviews a low amount of students (less than 200) for about 80 spots. Does anyone have any advice? anything will help.
