My D got Cs in AP Bio the year she started taking ADHD meds. She also experienced the death of two grandparents and a teen friend that year. We allowed her GC to mention these issues as a way of explaining the Cs. She’s got a 3.78 uw GPA and a 32 ACT. She focused her applications on LACs that offer good merit aid for her stats because we won’t qualify for FA. So far, two admissions with very generous merit scholarships.
