  1. Thanks everyone for the support! It is helpful to know that some places allow an addendum. I think I will open up to my research advisor and see whether he can address it appropriately. It might be better coming from him since he is removed from the situation.
  2. Hi, I've read about this to no avail, but I am curious to see if there is anyone out there with personal experience regarding this. I did poorly in undergrad, and graduated with a GPA that barely meets minimal criteria for PhD programs. I had some circumstances which left me traumatized and debilitated for a while. I was neither physically ill nor do I have a learning disorder. Four years have passed, and I have spent these doing research projects, working odd jobs, etc. I would like to craft an SOP focused on the evolution of my research, but people on forums have suggested it is weird to leave the grades unexplained. I am satisfied with other aspects of my application, otherwise. Does anyone here have any experience in addressing a train wreck of a transcript due to similar reasons?
