I have an alum interview for Harvard next Friday, and besides all the normal nerves, there's one thing I'm really worried about. There's a huge weak spot in my application, specifically my grades junior year. I was out in the hospital for a few weeks during the fall semester, at which time the term ended and all my missing work turned into zeros. I wasn't able to make the work up since it was at the end of the semester, and finished a few classes with a C average. I'm pretty sure the interviewer is going to question me about that, so should I say exactly what I just described? And if he asks what I was in the hospital for, should I say that it was a psych hospital (because that's what it was) or say something else? I don't necessarily want to divulge that information to him, it's really personal and sensitive...
