I had a low GPA (2.7) in college so over the course of three years, I took 6 quantitative/business courses to try and alleviate any possible concerns, getting As in all of them. Schools are going to see my GPA and the transcripts, which will be uploaded in the applications. So is it necessary to use the optional essay to explain the low GPA? Will the admissions committee automatically see the GPA and then see that I have taken steps to address it (by the presence of the transcripts) or is it necessary to spell it out for them?![]()
