ok, so i thought that i had this all planned out and i knew what to write. but now, after reading some things online about successfull essays, im not sure what to do and time is short.
one of the postbac schools im applying to has 2 essays. one about why i want to be a dr, and one that is open to anything i wish to convey. i was going to use this second opportunity to explain why i have crappy undergrad grades. the reason is because i had some trouble with anxiety and depression...
ive read, however, that 1)i shouldnt focus on my poor grades, and 2) that i should definitely not focus on depression. so, now im thinking that i should just add a sentence in my first essay that acknowledges my poor gpa but doesnt make any excuses for it and writing the 2nd essay on something else. is this good? i shouldnt write a whole essay about why i have poor grades and especially not because i was depressed, right?? please advise asap!! 😱
