<p>I was wondering if anyone who has sent an extra letter to colleges regarding a drop in grades or some other reason, and how it turned out. My explanation does not exactly include more serious cases such as illness or family/relationship issues..</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>Think long and hard about whether it’s an explanation or an excuse. And for discussing grades, it should be something that can be written by the HS GC, not the applicant.</p>
<p>I agree that if it’s more of an excuse, it won’t really help your situation.</p>
<p>um if it doesn’t have anything to do with family/health issues then what is there to talk about?</p>
