Esvrn:

My concern is that my transcript from my previous Korean high school shows very low grades. However, this was not due to a lack of effort or responsibility, but rather because GPA was not relevant for Korean art school admissions at that time.

Confused - it could have been high ? Right. So why was it low ? If you and not the system are why it’s low, no you should not excuse this away.

I’m assuming you earned the low grade, as easily as you could have earned a high one. Would that be correct ?
