So I have a low GPA in undergrad (2.6). This was at a top 10 university in a tough major (math)
I have done much better in grad school (3.5) and the school is also well regarded, just not as well regarded as my undergraduate institution. I also did well on my GMAT (720)
My main issue is that there were extenuating circumstances for my bad undergraduate GPA. There were serious personal issues outside of my control that are very personal and would be hard to talk about with admissions without either making me uncomfortable or even making them uncomfortable, I don't want pity or anything along those lines.
Basically I do take full responsibility for this poor gpa, during college I took the necessary steps to do better as the semesters progressed and I took advantage of the resources available and I worked hard, I don't want to give excuses, but I also believe that the information provided could be helpful when adcoms are evaluating my profile. How should I handle this?
