GPA addendum??
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 12:31 pm
Not sure if I should submit. I read a lot of threads on here that said if you do choose to write an addendum keep it short and sweet. Opinions?
(Also, note that in my PS I touch on growing up in an impoverished area with a single mother who worked two jobs, etc...)
After my first year of college I was forced to work a full-time job, as well as approximately 15 hours per week for an on-campus work study position in order to provide for my college education. This greatly impacted my academic performance, and the grades obtained in my second and third years of college are not indicative of my academic ability. After obtaining a higher paying position that allowed for flexible hours my grades immediately improved and I maintained a grade point average of over 3.39 over my final two years, while taking an average of 18 hours per semester.
