…statement (PS), diversity statement (DS), resume (CV), and addenda. I was given these three pieces of advice by a mentor, and they proved the most valuable I received in the process of creating core documents: a) Don’t overlap the content in your core documents or your addenda. Let each one speak to a totally…

Trying to be as detailed as I possibly can for posterity. **Stats Background: ** LSAT 172 (September) –> 179 October. -Didn’t write an LSAT addendum even though I increased 7 points in a month. Underperformed slightly on my first test likely due to lack of sleep the night before (I live in a loud area of campus and…
…a favor and decide at the start where to draw the line. Addenda: Outside of Character and Fitness, I really wouldn’t recommend writing one. Admissions committees have enough information from your transcript and LSAT history to deduce what they need, and it’s unlikely to impact your admissions decisions. You are also…
…are plenty of FGLI students who don’t need a GPA or LSAT addendum. I’m not saying that being FGLI isn’t taken into account when an admissions officer is evaluating the candidate as a whole person, but the truth is if they have two applicants with tragic backgrounds in front of them (I’m being dramatic) why would…
…fingers crossed. Aug 2021 - 157, Oct 2021 - 161 Wrote LSAT Addendum for 9 point jump and GPA Addendum
…I should have, so don’t do that. Put a lot of effort into addendums (if you have a valid reason). Schools are going to speculate if you can do the work in law school if you have a low undergrad GPA, so preempt and answer any questions they might have in the addendum. Focus more on why you’re capable in the present…
LSAC slaughtered my GPA (how the fuck do withdrawals count?). My LSAC GPA is actually sub-2. Degree GPA is 3.1. I wrote a really nice addendum. LSAT Strategy- I had an extremely demanding job while studying for LSAT. I’m fine at LR and RC, so I just spent all possible time doing logic games over and over and over…
Terrible GPA, wrote strong addendum. Less than ideal LSAT, wrote strong addendum. Your story is valuable. iiwii
…knowledge of Law School and their resume. Write a GPA Addendum, LSAT Addendum, and a Letter of Diversity. Even if it doesn’t help your chances, it does help your state of mind because you tried your best. Apply earlier than me, you will be better off. I did early February Don’t get Copypasta’d in chat, that shit…
…allowed it (one from a former congressman) Wrote a GPA addendum (had a specific circumstance that affected grades) Took the LSAT four times, upward trend, did not write an addendum Wrote a “Why X” essay and other optional essays (where prompted) for nearly every school
My Berkeley ED App included: GPA addendum (STRONG upwards trend after transfer to a significantly higher ranked school) LSAT score increase addendum (took 3 times w/ significant score increase) Enthusiastic Why Berkeley essay that was very personalized/non-generic 4 pg personal statement 2 pg résumé a typo I found…
Reapplicant–same LSAT + GPA. Wrote an LSAT addendum for all schools, reapplicant addendum for Penn. WashU–$$$$ unconditional arrived 12/16 Northwestern–WL last year. Michigan–Darrow interview invite arrived 12/17. Received full Darrow $$$$+ on 2/24. Berkeley–reapplicant, WL last year. **NYU– **Accepted last year, no…
…LSAT advice (I also used the Kaplan book). I wrote a GPA addendum addressing my low grades (which were all in my freshman spring due to a weirdly specific and difficult family situation). I also think having a few years of post-grad work experience helped soften the GPA blow and I sent a professional rec letter (in…
…my house (loud and stressful). I did write an application addendum for this jump in LSAT points explaining how my second score was a better indicator of my ability because of the factors mentioned above in red. A little over 1 yr. of full-time work experience (at the time of applying, but will be 2 years when I…
…~4.0 in my final year) at a top 30 undergrad, submitting addendum. Took the LSAT four times (157 to 177), submitting addendum. 1/4 Egyptian and grew up in middle class white suburbia, not writing any diversity statements. Two years of work experience at a couple law firms, currently in tech finance BigLaw. Personal…
3 LSAT takes 167 -> 169 -> 163 :( Opted against writing an LSAT addendum for the drop because I had no way to explain it other than burnout, which felt like a cop out. Undergrad GPA had huge upward trend in final two years (last 3 semesters all 4.0) and major GPA of 3.86. Undiagnosed learning difference the first 2…
LSAT 151 GPA 2.90 2020–21 cycle
-Wrote GPA addendum for a few, wrote a DS for all except FIU, C&F addendum for all -LSAC fee waiver paid for 6 of the CAS fees, got a fee waiver for all via email or because of the LSAC waiver
…president. None from academic references… -Submitted an addendum with all applications addressing NCPACE college courses I was enrolled in while on active duty because taking these courses resulted in having four different transcripts with odd gaps and overlaps due to NCPACE restrictions and increased operational…
