GPA question

[mrr111]

My UGPA sucks. After my bachelor's degree I went back to school and got an associate's degree in nursing. My GPA for my RN degree is better. Will that have any affect on my application? Should I write a GPA addendum? Or will the adcomm know from my transcripts?

It won't affect your LSAC GPA, unfortunately, since it came after your bachelor's. However, you still need to submit your transcript, which adcomms will see.

I think a GPA addendum should probably only be included if there's a crazy outlier grade (a D in a sea of A's) and/or there is a good reason for mediocre performance (caring for an ill loved one).
