…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…
…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…
…standard deviation below average and I have that in my addendum. I have nothing yet from BC, but my personal relationship with mid or high level admissions people at TAMU and Baylor have been GODSENDS. Mike at Baylor has literally fought to get me over the highest level of initial scholarship possible. He’s a G and…
…this out to any admissions committees as some kind of addendum document. The reason I feel so strongly about this is that all other things equal, all that matters is your GPA in the scheme of the stats and you will appear to have a lower GPA unfairly to those on a 4.3 scale. Also when it comes to improving a schools…
…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…
Wrote LSAT Addendum Wrote all why X law school Just applied everywhere Feb LSAT: 150 (What I applied with) April LSAT: 160
…school about a specific disability, as well as a brief GPA addendum (grades are lower specifically in a particular semester due to an acute health issue; all other semesters are 3.9 - 4.0). 5 years WE; nothing particularly unique, but definitely related to my narrative– I think cohesion b/w my background & my…
…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…
Note about low GPA: I had a 2.4 GPA my freshman year, then roughly a 3.9 across my last 3 years. I wrote a strong addendum that I think explained this as well as possible. That said, I’m not sure how sympathetic schools were to my story. I’m a KJD so this only happened 2 years prior to me sending my applications. It…
…for every school except the top 5! Also wrote an LSAT addendum for medical reasons.
…directly. My app is risky. I make poop jokes in my C&F addendum, my resume is formatted in an um interesting way, and I am very, very cavalier. While I personally view those risks as having paid off, they are not for everyone and I would recommend strongly considering how your risks fit into the context of the rest…
