Please help!!! Should I write an addendum? Forum

[T6hopeful15]

Is there a GPA over which writing an addendum seems weird to law schools? For example, I have a 3.5 but had an illness that did actually cause me to constantly become sick, hospitalized and have debilitating chronic pain during college. However, some people have told me it's still strange to write an addendum with a 3.5 because it's a decent GPA. What do you all think?

Did you have a drop in grades during that time? If you had an illness but it didn't really impact your academic performance, then no, I don't think so. But if you can say that having that illness led to a drop in grades because you couldn't devote as much time to your studies/had to miss class/whatever, then I'd say yes. But that's just my opinion. Get others too! Lol
