Essays: I have only written one, but it’s been reviewed by my consultant and my counselor, as well as my English teacher, and they think it’s very good, so I give myself an 8-9/10. I’m a fairly talented writer, so I think my essays will be good.
My grades are bad because of mental illness. straight up. I was hospitalized twice. I am diagnosed with bipolar. My counselor says that he will explain the drop in my grades as an underclassman in my LOR, but I’m unsure as to whether this will be enough.
Also would be applying to study polisci.
Any ideas of chances? thank you!
