Can someone proofread my 'Additional Information' section?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys!
I am about to submit my application in a little bit, but am unsure about what I have written in the 'Additional Information'/ Is the following appropriate?</p>

<p>Online courses completed (MIT OCW):
6.092 - Introduction to Programming in Java
6.094 - Introduction to MATLAB
9.70 - Social Psychology</p>

<p>Reason for low grades in the 11th Standard:
I was diagnosed with clinical depression by Dr. xyz. I was having conflicts with my mother, and this seriously affected my state of mind.</p>

<p>Additional EC's:
1)I have been solving the problems posted on '<a href="http://www.projecteuler.com"&gt;www.projecteuler.com&lt;/a&gt;' for two years now (about two hours every week). These are mathematical problems, ranging from the trivial to the extremely challenging. I have solved over 70 of these till date.</p>

<p>2)District-level football: I have represented my old school, abc, in the Under-14 and Under-17 categories at inter-school competitions multiple times. </p>

<p>Can someone please comment? This is the last section remaining, and then I can submit the app for three colleges which have Jan 1st as the last date.</p>

<p>Reason for low grades…</p>

<p>Sounds like an excuse.</p>

<p>menacing</p>

<p>Thanks for commenting. That is a veritable reason, and I have mentioned the name of the psychiatrist so colleges could verify if they wanted. Could you please tell me how to rephrase that part, so it doesn’t come off as an excuse but a compelling reason?</p>

<p>Name it like uhhh, “Personal Circumstances:” and then you could explain everything and how it affected your life at home and life at school.</p>

<p>I’m sure you could come up with something better :p</p>
