…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…

HappySunshineBee left this wisdom for posterity… (◕-◕) Notes on my apps I did ALL supplemental essays- I submitted a GPA addendum (noted health issue & upward trajectory) had a very clear why law & narrative (significant WE directly tied to childhood experience that led me to law) LSAT: 165 > 170 > 174 Submitted…

…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…

…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.
…then you can cancel without having to worry about the addendum when you get the score you want the next time. *I think this may have changed since I was in law admissions. I still think if you can do it you should. Write the optionals I know, I know. It’s a lot. But write them. It’s an easy way to show you’re…
…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…
…I eventually graduated from. I included all of this in an addendum. I was scared this would have a big negative impact on my app, but it looks like some schools were willing to overlook this!! I’m sure it might’ve been a red flag for some schools, but evidently others were willing to see the improvements I’ve made…

…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. My one regret in this process is I certainly didn’t reach my LSAT potential. It’s an investment literally worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, please take 6 months to study at a…

…information about my cycle, if you care: ⛧ I wrote a GPA addendum even though a lot of people would have said not to.
