Lisa,
When is it appropriate to add an optional essay discussing weaknesses. I am applying to MS finance programs and a few of them give you the option to add an additional essay letting the admissions comittee consider anything else. I got a few D's and an 2 F's in a good public school early on in my career. Also, i failed two summer community college classes freshman summer. Is this a trap by the adcom? After taking a semester off I started trying and did well. However I had 3.4 last two years. My gpa is only 3.0 and averages are around 3.3....I am wondering if I should address this or just let the adcom come to the conlusion that I started focusing last two years. I dont want to make excuses or make the adcom's mad.
Thanks.
