…completely on professional experience. I also wrote a GPA addendum.

…school about a specific disability, as well as a brief GPA addendum (grades are lower specifically in a particular semester due to an acute health issue; all other semesters are 3.9 - 4.0). 5 years WE; nothing particularly unique, but definitely related to my narrative– I think cohesion b/w my background & my…

They are very protective of their culture.…
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. That said, I’m not sure how sympathetic schools were to my story. I’m a KJD so this only happened 2 years prior to me sending my applications. It…

…It was the lowest point in my life, and writing that addendum was tough. I believe it is absolutely essential to show contrition and put enough time between the incident and your application to show how you have changed. Fortunately for me, I had nearly a decade of working, promotions, and volunteering since my…
