Admitted to University of Georgia…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.

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…

…degree to almost every school I applied to. My essays and addenda were polished, and I got positive feedback on them from several sources, including admissions officials and professors. So, you can overcome a bad GPA and C&F issues if you have a solid LSAT, some positive resume items, and well-written essays to…
