<p>So during my freshmen and sophmore year, there was a major illness in my family which included my mother, father and me.This caused my GPA to decrease rapidly. Should I write my common app essay on this? I feel like im making an excuse for everything.</p>
<p>well basically it’s also better than you get high marks AND you overcome some issue
but, your in the position you are in so explaining it is better than nothing.</p>
