<p>Hey there! </p>
<p>In the Common app, there's a place to explain an educational interruption. I moved after my junior year from Maine to Michigan. After I moved, a whole bunch of terrible things happened, including deaths in the family, depression, and a member of the family's drug addiction getting worse and worse. All of this significantly upset my GPA, and for my junior year, I scraped out with a 3.4.
Now, the reason I'm telling you this is that I want to know if I should include all of that in my explanation. Should I just limit it to the exact nature of my move, or can I use it as a place to explain how the move, coupled with a bunch of other problems, is the cause of my low GPA?
Any advice is appreciated!</p>
