前两年因为家庭原因,当然也因为自己不懂事,没好好学习。后两年还算满用功的,最后top 10%毕业。3.33-》3.8算很大进步么?这种情况我应该写optional essay么?

谢谢

我认为不用写,2.X的可以写写,我觉得optional是用来解释那些个啥不好的,你3.X去解释,就怕你暴露更多的问题

Hello my friend.  Yes, I agree with you 100%.  This is PRECISELY what you would want to write about in your optional essay.  Now remember, you want to keep it nice and quick.  Three sentences or so, max.  erhaps four—but you want to be confident, don’t make excuses, and simply explain the facts of the case.  The optional essay is an art form—but if executed correctly, can be a lifesaver!
Hope this helps,

Thanks to everyone for your kindly reply, and I guess this is a tricky one.

After some thought I plan to put these info in my resume / honors section. So instead of tackling with the optional essay beast, I'm really relying on dear adcom reviewers to find out my development since the first 2 years of mediocre performance.

Do you guys think this makes sense?

Thanks again. You guys have been so helpful.
