oh, one more thing. should I even include the addendum? It does explain my upward trend and why my GPA was lowered, but...is it a valid reason (since most people worked during college)?

[plenipotentiary]

Your addendum is way too long but, more importantly, it's incoherent. Your grades suffered because you were working, except when they didn't because you were working more. Huh?

I vote no addendum. If you do use one, shorten it down. But grade addendum for a B+ semester gpa...uhhh?

[northwood]

what is your final gpa?

if its 3.5 or above, no addendum

[lhlee]

okay, that was helpful guys. I thought as much. worthed a try though.

my gpa is 3.55, with the two quarters out...i'd be 3.64, guess its not that big of a deal.


thanks though!

I dont think the last 2 sentences are necessary. Explain your grades and your grades alone, don't talk about why your time-management skills will be good for law school. Damn, going to the 3rd decimal place in the first 2 gpas.

An addendum may be useful in your situation. My upward trend was painfully stalled for one term due to work/family emergencies (think C's and Incompletes). I limited my addendum to about seven sentences though.

This is a poorly written, unnecessary addendum.
