How to explain my low high school grades in my statement of purpose?

Truth. It never lies.

@nope the admission guys should understand my case right? I’ll just write I realized my flaws and corrected them

You really need to be honest with them.

I had low grades my freshman year in high school but did tell afterwards. You too have this “improvement” area. Just be honest about your past but also underscore that you have improved (and the evidence that shows this) and that you’ve learned and grown as a person so you’ll keep ON doing well. :)

Say that your brain works better in a varsity teaching environment. The school work was presented in a way which did not challenge your thinking nor inspire you to engage with the subjects. Since approaching the subjects in a different environment with a much more focussed perspective you not only vastly improoved your grades but your natural talents and instincts for those subjects were awoken and you feel this is an excellent position to be in now that you are qualifying for further study. You look forward to the challanges once again and as is prooven in your excellent recent achievements you certainally have the capability and drive and capacity to not only rise to the challange but to really excell and achieve the high grades which you strive for. It is with this in mind that you look forward to the opportunity to progress even further adn explore these subject areas in greater depth and at a level which you hope will both challenge and excite and motivate you….... play up the fact that your achievement levels grew as your focus became clearer about where you want to take this learning. You value the time you spent earlier on at high school scouting a range of subjects and gathering a range of experiences and perspectives on both your education and life and belive that foundations which are first broad and then narrow as you progress are essentual skills for participation in the global work village of the 21st century where creativity and flexiablity alongside motivation and curiosity are as important as subject content knowledge. You are planning to be a mutlifacited employee/bussiness manager etc of the future who can not only handle computers but can use them as a tool to be part of the wider world of people you are on the cutting edge of learning because you are computer savvy AND have been able to proove your academic capabilities.

With a statement like that they will be begging you to study with them. Good luck.

I would stick to the truth that you found computers so fascinating that you “made the mistake” of ignoring other subjects. Taking personal responsibility for this is an important part of your answer.

I would avoid placing any blame for this on the school or it’s curriculum. I say this because schools, like businesses, are very sensitive to any statements that blame the organization for personal failure.

They tend to see people who make this kind of blaming statement as potential “problems” for their own organization should they fail.

always keep it honest. especially when the truth works. its very annoying to be caught lying when the truth isn’t even bad. it makes you seem like a worse person.
