My LSAC GPA is a 3.31 (which is almost exactly my institutional GPA), but I had a much stronger senior year (4.0 one semester, dean's list) after being diagnosed with a learning disability and ADHD and receiving disability counseling/the miracle that is Adderall.
In my view, this necessitates an addendum, but I'm worried that it was too little, too late. Anyone have experience with this? Thoughts? Will adcoms take this seriously?
I do have documentation/an seriously considering asking one of my recommenders to write about the changes in my work when I took a class with him sophomore vs. senior year.
LSAT: 168, retaking in Oct.

Re: Addendum for a Learning Disability?
Definitely. Add at the end something like documentation available on request, makes you look that much more credible as wellacrossthelake wrote:I think this is one of those cases where an addendum is worth it. They'll still have to contend with your GPA for USNews, but you have concrete evidence that you'll probably do better in law school than your GPA predicts.

Re: Addendum for a Learning Disability?
I feel an addendum, if phrased properly, is worthwhile considering the dramatic increase from around a 3.3 to 4.0.
