<p>Hi, I have always been an outstanding high school student, and I am applying to a school ED which requires my Q1 grades which might be a bit low this quarter. I am sure they will be better when semester grades actually come out.</p>
<p>The thing is, I have had an insanely stressful semester...taking the maximum courseload my school has to offer as well as 4 hours of football practice a night. Add that to filling out all of my apps and it is bad enough but I was recently put on medication for severe depression and anxiety which went untreated since the beginning of summer. I am sure this has contributed to my slightly lower grades. Do you think I should put this somewhere on my common app? Thanks for your help.</p>
