a "D" in junior year

Applying to College
1

<p>I received a 65 on English in junior year, should I explain this in my application: "As a recent immigrant, I was required to take ESL (English as second language) classes. I developed skills that enabled my placement into regular English class. I received a grade of 65 that reflects my transition. As of today, I am continuing to develop my English and my grade has improved."</p>

<p>Will this explanation work against me?</p>

<p>My advice would be to attend community college for a year or two, then apply for transfer admission into state school. After attending state school for a year, given your grades are subpar, you should apply to a top tier private investment group.</p>

3

<p>Grits=what? The only low grade this student mentions is english........an investment group? I have no idea what you are trying to say????</p>

4

<p>grits is giving bad advice.</p>

5

<p>or cannot read well......or cannot speak well.</p>

6

<p>Think along the lines of Citadel, Blackstone group, Meryll Lynch, etc. These companies recruit almost exclusively from top tier community colleges and Ivy leagues, which gives you a VERY good shot at acceptance into these colleges.</p>

<p>Correct.</p>

<p>And who says the OP even wants to be involved in business or investment banking?</p>

<p>The "D" wont hurt you significantly, given that the rest of your app is amazing.</p>
