I have one C in an honors class which I tried extremely hard to get to a B but ended at 79.9. My luck. I’ve applied to a few selectives such as UW Madison and a few reaches, and I don’t want to appear to be slacking off. UW Madison provides a text box along the lines of “if you have any comments about you report, write here”.
Would it be a good idea to explain it or would it make me look fake and desperate? It’s a weighted class so it’s the equivalent of a B in regular but I’m sure it would look bad in comparison to other applicants. It’s my only C since freshman year so I’m freaking out.
I’ll message the explanation to anyone who’s interested to help me out with advice.
