Hi There,
I'm currently completing my OTCAS application and have a question regarding the personal essay.
Because my undergraduate degree GPA was non-competitive, I went back to school to raise my GPA. I was able to earn at least an A for all my post-baccalaureate courses. Unfortunately, in my undergraduate transcript I also received a very low grade for one of my courses which I repeated and was able to do much better. My question is whether I should explain the low grade and lower undergraduate GPA in my personal essay. Does this depend on the school?
Thanks.
