Academic Addendum?
During my junior year of college, I was sick constantly. I got bacterial lung infection and missed several weeks of school. Then right after I recovered, I got sick again. I didn't fail any classes, but I did have a string of C's in both fall and spring semesters--and to make matters worse, two of the C's were in courses like constitutional law. My semester GPA last spring was a 2.6, and my GPA from this fall is a 3.78. Cumulatively it is a 3.32. Is it worth writing an addendum?

Was the 2.6 when you were sick? If it was, do an addendum. If not, it won't help.ajel190 wrote:During my junior year of college, I was sick constantly.

Just make sure that there is a "re-birth" story in there... about how you learned from it, etc.

Write an addendum. Connect the dots.
Answer questions like -- why decreasing grades here? how did you make up for it there?
If you have good recent grades, highlight this fact!!
