Hi y'all,
I'm applying to a DO school and for a secondary I have to talk about extenuating circumstances pertinent to my application. Is it wise to talk about 503 MCAT (working part-time and being full-time student for example) and 2 Cs? My overall GPA is 3.76 or should I talk about financial disadvantage? or should I just put not applicable? Thank you

Discussing this will highlight poor judgement and an inability to master time mgt. Do NOT bring attention to a negative. Leave the prompt blank.
