Work done during study abroad

[wanderlustskies]

So I'm getting ready to write my statement of interest for grad schools and im suffering with a 2.49 gpa. However I studied abroad in South Korea for a year and out of the 30 credits I took I made a 3.9 gpa however my program doesn't affect my gpa it was pass/ fail but I do have the transcripts from the university I studied at abroad to show the A's and B's. Also all the classes that I took and made A's were specifically for my major. Is this worth mentioning in my letters? Will this hurt or help my chances? Thanks!!

This belongs on your CV/resume, and you should send your study abroad transcript. I don't know if I would harp on this item in a SOP unless it is part of some larger explanation of what happened with the rest of your GPA?

*Note 

I"m suffering from a 2.949 gpa and wih grade forgiveness and the courses that I"m taking I"m pushing to have 3.1 when I graduate. I'll also be graduating with a "leadership distinction"(some extra program my university started)
