[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - my son used the spot on his applications to talk about his medical issues. It worked out. I'm sorry he struggled so much and glad he's doing so well right now.[/quote] Thank you. That is good to hear. He wrote on essay addressing the issues and another that avoided them. He is debating which to use. He is concerned with “making excuses.”[/quote] It would be a huge mistake to not address the poor performance. Colleges love an application that demonstrates overcoming adversity.....that's why they give a hook to first gen college students. Plus he has to explain the underachievement or he will just look like a slacker which would kill his app. [/quote]
