…interview request. Only submitted my PS, resume, academic addendum, and a C+F addendum for traffic tickets, so I wonder if this played a factor. March 5, 2026: WL @ Penn Oh, wow. I haven’t been on LSD.law much recently, but I did see glimpses of some Penn A calls earlier in the day and was expecting a possible WL or…

…so i repeat, study hard for the lsat!! i submitted an lsat addendum to every school, but here are my specifics for some schools (i didn’t write a separate why X for any): GULC: did the optional essay, chose the best advice one. did not interview. regular waitlist Emory: applied ED and originally didn’t submit my…
…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…
…knowledge of Law School and their resume. Write a GPA Addendum, LSAT Addendum, and a Letter of Diversity.

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…
…I did not redact my LSAT at WashU. I did not write an LSAT addendum. I took the test twice back to back and got basically the same score twice even though I was PT’ing much higher. I studied for 7 months before I took the test the first time and my diagnostic was a 153.
…my performance in undergrad which I explained in a gpa addendum. I connected my statement of perspective to these circumstances and explained how I grew and how I would show up as a lawyer. I had no C&F issues. I wrote a GULC optional essay, no video. Whether ED and applying early gives a small boost is debatable.…
…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…

…completely on professional experience. I also wrote a GPA addendum. I had a major injury in one semester, which I mentioned, but the primary reason that I wrote about was purposefully prioritizing work and extracurriculars in writing and political advocacy, at the expense of my coursework, especially in my major. If…
…related to your applications, try to fit it into a GPA addendum or an optional essay. This was another mistake I made. If you’re below the 25th on GPA, you better be above the 75th on LSAT. I don’t think a single school (besides maybe USC) genuinely gave a flying fuck about my GPA uptrend. Go Gators :)
…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…
