Note about low GPA: I had a 2.4 GPA my freshman year, then roughly a 3.9 across my last 3 years. I wrote a strong addendum that I think explained this as well as possible.

Have a mediocre GRE score on file, which I had to send to Harvard, NYU, Penn, and NU. Did not write an addendum. T3 = master’s degree. Wrote a “Why X” for Penn and Michigan and one of the supplements for Georgetown.

…you are below median GPA, explain why. **- I wrote a GPA addendum for Berkeley, and I think it helped me get WL’ed below medians instead of R’ed. I also wrote it as a response to one of USC’s application questions, and I actually got in.
