<p>I have consistently received all A's with a few B's here and there...but first semester of senior year I have done HORRIBLY and gotten Bs and Cs....I have had to miss school a lot due to my health problems that really flared up this year..
They are all difficult classes: AP Literature, AP Statistics, AP Gov/Politics, AP/IB Spanish, AP/IB Biology HL 1, IB Biology HL 2...
I am trying to apply to decent private schools, like JHU, CMU, Boston College, Rice, WUSTL, UPenn, etc....
What is the best way to approach this? SHould i send an email to the admissions counselor explaining it?
please help me out !!!! thank you thank you thank you!!!</p>
<p>You shouldn’t do it, you should have your HS GC contact the schools and explain about your health issues.</p>
<p>thank you @entomom for your input!
my GC already submitted a rec on common app before for EA/ED so should she email the schools individually?</p>
<p>Once the app is submitted, notifying individual colleges is about the only option. Check the college websites and find out how they prefer updates be submitted (email/FAX/etc.).</p>
