So I realize that this has been discussed before, but it's been awhile and I was wondering if there were different thoughts.
The first semester of my junior year I withdrew from most (but not all) of my classes for mental health issues that were mostly stress related. After that I got a much higher undergrad GPA both science and nonscience (3.6ish (before) vs 3.9ish (after)). I am also completing a masters degree, I have a lower GPA (3.4), but these were not simple classes and were far more stressful than any undergrad class I ever took. Now I'm wondering if I should note on my secondaries in the space where they're like "is there anything else you would like to tell us", that I withdrew from most of my classes that semester because I was diagnosed with _____ stemming from childhood issues, and after learning better stress coping skills have significantly improved or something like that. Or if I should just ignore it and let them ask in interviews
Thank you for any thoughts you might have.
