Yes, I see, but it fits in, I think. I’m planning to volunteer with DayOne soon because I was sexually abused my junior year, and that relates to why I want to go to Smith. I want to help other women go through what I went through, and at Smith, I’d be surrounded by other strong advocates of women’s rights (or so I hope). I want to turn lemon into to lemonade, so to speak. If they really felt like going back and looking at my grades, they’d see the plummet between freshman/sophomore year to junior/senior year, but I doubt they will. I’d like to believe that this is a legitimate reason, but I’m sure I’m not the only with problems. Thanks for the advice, though, I see how excuses could seem annoying to admissions.
