Admitted to Boston University…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…

…I would apply to all T14. I wrote a trauma-based grade addendum that provided context to my GPA. I also wrote a short C&F regarding a possession of drug paraphernalia misdemeanor, which I thought FOR SURE would be a huge barrier to cycle success. Turns out I spent many a sleepless night for naught, and I hope…
…you likely wouldn’t attend. If you need to write an addendum, do a free consult with a consultant to make sure it’s not a stupid idea.
…retrospect I should have explained this score jump with an addendum (especially at Michigan), but figured the proctoring issues would give me cover. If you have a jump, explain it. I think admissions this cycle was more focused on GPA than ever before, which probably hurt my scholarship offers. I think my personal…

…Why Law in my personal statement. I did not submit a GPA addendum but I did have an upward trend in my GPA. Be realistic and apply to a range of schools.

…until that is taken care of first. Should’ve written an addendum but I didn’t. Also, please invest way more money and time that I did.
