Second to last semester before graduation I had a semester GPA of 2.7. C+, B-, B-, and B. My cumulative GPA is about 3.5 and on typical semesters I get mostly B+'s and A-'s.
I am just wondering how bad a semester should be before you mention it in your SOP. On the one hand I don't want to mention it and draw attention to it if it would have possibly gone unnoticed. But if it is noticed I would like to explain it. I know the grades are not too horrible but it is unfortunate that it is a semester so close to graduation so I don't want them to think I am tiring of school. I have at least a somewhat satisfactory explanation for it (deaths of two people close to me).
What do you think?
Thanks
