Though I have 3.76 GPA and an upward trend (3.6 in Freshman to 3.98 in Senior), I have one C+ in biology 1 during the very first semester in college and a drop in Calculus 3 in Sophomore year Fall term, and one of secondary questions is asking me to explain academic difficulties and requiring me to explain all grades below B.
During the first semester, I seriously didn't know how to study for college courses. So I started from a C and D in the first two test then ended up with an A in the final. The overall grade was still C+.
During the Fall term of my sophomore year, I dropped Calculus 3. I was extremely burned out after taking Orgo 1, orgo 2, and lab over the Summer term. (well I did pretty well on orgos)
As you can see, these are not good excuses, and all I can say is that I didn't have a good study skill and time management skill, so I learned from them and improved my grades in harder courses during my upper years.
Would there be a better way to explain?
