<p>I am thinking of adding some additional information but I am afraid it will negatively affect me, or so I've heard it can.</p>
<p>I want to explain my junior year marks - why they dropped but it's not due to family circumstances, death, anything extreme..its just a 4% drop which is a lot - i changed my line of courses, very challenging, very involved in school, etc. </p>
<p>do you think it would hurt me to put this in additional information? my guidance counselor does explain it a bit in her rec. but I kind of want to explain it myself too.</p>
