GPA took a huge nose dive from Sophomore -> Junior year. Talking high 2.7-2.9 range. Went back up senior year to 3.0+
Depression was a significant factor, big break up. Other than that there was no excuse.
Was just gonna be honest with them and explain it in passing: "Did not study efficiently, personal problems that affected me mentally". Was also gonna explain to them how I fixed my studying habits and am doing better in grad school.
I don't want to mention the word depression specifically, so is the above satisfactory? Anyone else have an interview that they were asked about their grade deficits? How did you answer it?
