Admissions Question: Science GPA

In an application, where do we mention special circumstances (for example, I have been taking college mathematics courses for several years, which has lowered my gpa and ranking at school)? Do the essay questions give enough room to elaborate on the entirety of our situations?

Does MIT also recognize foreign achievements (I have a silver medal in the Chinese Mathematical Olympiad)?

All comments are welcome! Thanks for your help!
