College Interview Question:

Does your high school record accurately reflect your effort and ability?

Submitted by: Muhammad

In the interview or on your application, you often have an opportunity to explain a bad grade or a bad semester. Be careful with this issue -- you don't want to come across as a whiner or as someone who blames others for a low grade. However, if you really did have extenuating circumstances, let the college know.
