Admitted to University of California—Davis…easier to find 70ish minutes than it is 150+. Wrote an addendum for the schools that explicitly mentioned a 4+ point increase (only USC). 3.46 transcript GPA from a T5 public school (they have a T14 law school atm), 3.49 CAS with a stem degree and a minor. Upward trend that I wrote an addendum about (trend started…
…~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…
…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…
…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 :)
…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!!

…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. Work hard on the components you can control and try not to stress over the components you can’t control. Also, email schools and ask for an application fee…
…3 times (164 –> 167 –> 160) compelling (in my opinion) gpa addendum
Please write a GPA/LSAT addendum (if its valid). I regret not writing one, I was scared to write one for many reasons but I still regret it

…you are below median GPA, explain why. **- I wrote a GPA addendum for Berkeley, and I think it helped me get WL’ed below medians instead of R’ed. I also wrote it as a response to one of USC’s application questions, and I actually got in.
