<p>in the application, there is a section that we have to write special circumstances.</p>
<p>If you have experienced any special circumstances that may have affected your academic progress or opportunities to engage or excel in activities, please provide details to enable appropriate consideration.</p>
<p>What does this mean?</p>
<p>Does it mean like if you had bad grades for certain period, explain why you got the bad grades?</p>
<p>i guess… i always just really want to tell them some random story there, but they’d probably chuck my application if i did:)… probably any of the whole “divorce, death in family, supported family, was abused” type stuff…</p>
<p>Yeah, ekb242’s got the right idea. I left my field blank.</p>
<p>What about living 14 miles from the school, 2 siblings in schools in opposite directions, mom in nursing school, and no school activity busses? This made EC’s next to impossible because of a lack of transportation until the acquisition of a license/car in junior year. Is this something reportable or does it just sound like lame whining?</p>
<p>GT could care less about EC’s, what counts is your grades</p>
