  1. I am applying to a masters program in psychology, with the hopes of going on to a PhD afterward. I am not applying directly to PhD programs because I do not have the GPA or research experience required to get in. While the masters I am applying to is less rigorous, my GPA still falls below their average. From everything I have read/heard, you should briefly touch on the reasons for low grades in the SOP. However, all the psychology specific advice I have seen says to definitely avoid talking about any personal diagnoses in your application. How do I explain that I am capable of so much more than what you see on my transcript when the low grades were caused by untreated mental illness?? Now that I have been diagnosed and undergone treatment I am doing so much better, and my recent grades have all been very good, I just don't know what to say about it in my SOP... Help!
