I am sending a letter of explanation for my reletively low high school grades (3.4 UW 3.95 W and 3.7 UC) to one of the private colleges that I am applying to because my mom had three heart attacks and lengthy hospital stays during high school. Throughout these events I had to assume her household responsibilities in addition to varsity track/xc and honors level classes…as a result my grades were effected.

So, to get to the point, should I send this letter to the UC’s as well? or is it too late?
