I'm a splitter with a 171/3.51. I had some trends in my GPA and I am unsure if it warrants an addendum.

I had a bad junior year due. Without that year my GPA would be about a 3.6, but I rebounded strongly my senior year with my best year academically, writing a successful honors thesis, etc.

Is this worth an addendum? I know that it's not a huge difference in GPA, but I feel that my GPA does not tell the whole story.

Depends what the "personal stuff" is. Something legit like getting diagnosed with diabetes or a family member dying, absolutely.
