Can undiagnosed/untreated anxiety excuse grades

Before I say anything else - I am really glad you are seeking treatment for your anxiety and I am glad it is helping you. I am a student too and I see a lot of people suffering but afraid to ask for help. That said, here are my thoughts.

  1. Your grades are fine. You will get into a good school.

  2. A lot of students had mental health struggles over the last 2 years. There will be plenty of other typically high achievers who underperformed.

  3. It’s really starting to hurt my feelings that 90% of posts from high school students on CC are like “God forbid I end up at a school with A-/B+ students. My life is over. Why did I try?” (I promise I’m not a complete moron and you will not suffer learning with lesser minds such as my own)
