<p>I know this is old but I didn’t want to start a new thread<br>
so I was curious if the topic of grades comes up at all. I did poorly freshman and 1st semester sophomore year and I have a personal reason for that and I don’t want to disclose it here but I’d like the admissions office to know that there was a reason for the poor grades instead of just a lack of effort. should I just leave that for my essays or is this a topic covered in the interview? (I’m currently a junior looking to interview sometime during the summer)</p>
