A week ago I had a 88% in the class, which I was actually proud of considering it was in my weakest subject. My friend and I failed a group project and now I have a 75%. By the time I realized my partner wasn’t planning on doing the assignment, it wasn’t possible for me to complete their part.

Just to be clear, my focusing on outside stuff has caused me to drop from being a straight A student to being a B+/A- student. My C is solely caused by this one project. The major thing that has caused the shift in grades in my other classes is a math/science competition, which I emphasized in my application and essays. I do feel like my participation in math/science outside of school was a large part of why I was accepted.
