Hello!
I see that in the common app overall information, there is one additional section for ‘details of circumstances or qualifications not reflected in the application’ but in many colleges, there’s also the same optional section.
I plan to explain the fluctuations of my grades but I don’t know where I should put it.
Please give your insights.
Thank you!
You can use either. But it is hard to explain without sounding like making excuses or giving TMI. If you have legit reasons, consider asking your GC to address it instead. It has more credibility.
I see ^^ I guess I will use the usual common app to address the strange fluctuation, so that I can reserve the respective blanks to write other useful things.
Ah I understand. Actually instead of explaining low grades, I want to address high grades instead. When you look at my transcripts, you will notice the weird grades.
Thank you!!
