<p>Hi! So basically this post/question is really personal.
When I was a sophomore I was sexually abused/rape for a summer in foreign country. Due to that, my junior year grades slipped greatly....but senior year I am okay and my grades are back on top.
My question is...should I or can I talk about this in my essay to explain to colleges? </p>
<p>The colleges I am applying to are American University, Georgetown, and the UC's</p>
