LSAT 163 GPA 3.68 2020–21 cycle

…Just. Do. It. Bottom line - it’s the numbers. Softs, addendums, personal statements matter less than you think. Yes, write the personal statement, addendums, extra why?

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…

…information about my cycle, if you care: ⛧ I wrote a GPA addendum even though a lot of people would have said not to. I finished a five-year undergrad program in four years, and both majors that I studied had a lot of additional requirements outside of normal class hours. I essentially used the space to say that I…

…I didn’t talk about race) and a pretty wild academic addendum. I know for a fact that my essays and interviews were what got me very far in the admissions process- spend a lot of time on those and don’t short change yourself!
