GPA- 3.58 from a top public university
LSAT- 167
Addendum- Last 3 semesters I've gotten a 4.0
I've held 2 internships
Volunteer Hours, etc.

I've submitted applications to:
GWU (ED)
Fordham
Cornell
WUSTL
Hofstra
UConn
UMinn
W&L
W&M
Cardozo
American

Can I expect money from anywhere? I'm presuming either WL or Rejected from Cornell but I wanted to try.

That addendum seems odd. Also GW seems like a waste of an ED considering it's tougher than their RD.

I was sick the end of my freshman year and didn't perform as well as I wanted to. So, I wrote an addendum explaining that and how it has effected my GPA and to point out the upward trend.

I seriously doubt that the GPA addendum will help you. You're probably in everywhere but Cornell and GW. WUSTL will give you monies.

yeah, i didn't think it would help but when i spoke to the reps from the schools they said it couldn't hurt to include it

You really think WUSTL will give him monies? He's in between the 25-75 for GPA and LSAT...??

I really think so. It won't necessarily be a ton of monies ($30k seems to be a common number), but 167/3.58 last year got $111k from WUSTL: http://lawschoolnumbers.com/tcantu/jd

WUSTL is a whore for LSATs at 167 or above.
