I second sonic2000’s op.

You should use the optional essay to address issues that the AdCom will question. A 3.75 GPA will not raise any eyebrows, especially if you did well the last 2 years. Using the optional essay to write about it will cause the AdCom to doubt your judgment, waste their time (they have to read thousands of essays), and give the impression that you don’t have any important accomplishments.
