Here is my situation. I am applying to top schools (harvard, columbia, Uchicago). I got fairly bad grades freshman year (a lot of B’s and one C), but straight A’s sophomore and junior year. I feel i should include some explanation of what happened, but i cant seem to find any good way to explain it that fits with my application.

My questions is: Do you think it is vital i give some explanation, or does the vast improvement speak for itself?

Thanks a lot,
Connor
