UC Application Additional Comments Section

<p>Would it sound bad if I wrote about how my grades started out low freshman year because I was not prepared transitioning from middle school to high school, but improved throughout the years? And also if I explained why I took some of my classes (like academic chemistry instead of honors, and honors calc instead of AP) because the art classes I needed to take for Art Seminar A messed up my schedule? </p>

<p>I am planning on focusing on art during college and specific art classes were required in order to be able to take the portfolio development art class and AP art at my school. </p>

<p>Also, if those shouldn’t be included… does it hurt if I just leave that section blank?</p>

<p>I’m not sure that saying you had a hard time transitioning from middle school to high school would be of any use because that’s the case for many people, but maybe if you went more in depth about your courses in comparison to middle school?</p>
