Request for mid year grades

My first semester grades are horrible. I finished with a 73 in Calc first quarter and for 2nd quarter I have a 69 in AP bio, a 79 in AP Euro, and a 77 in Calc. I just got a letter from Pitt asking for my mid year grades. Is there anything i can do or say to them that might make them still consider me? Theres really no reason for these drops except simply loss of motivation. I understand that I’ve made a stupid mistake and I only have myself to blame, and regardless of Pitt’s decision, I will have learned from it.

If your only excuse is lack of motivation then there is nothing you can really say to them. Just send them your report and hope for the best.
