I would like to write an addendum for my gpa and would like some advice on how to go about it. I had around a 3.0 during my first undergraduate degree, and 5 years later, decided to pursue a pre-law degree at the University of Central Florida and now have a 3.7, including a 4.0 in my legal studies. Unfortunately, this will not be included in my lsdas gpa since I already have one undergraduate degree, but my transcript from UCF will be sent to them. The reason I decided to attend school again was to raise my gpa and show law schools my full potential. I would just like to write an addendum to have them put equal weight into my UCF gpa and not just base myself on my previous gpa. Any advice on what I should write about when I do this? I don't want them to see me as making excuses, I know I did not try my hardest my first time in college. However, I feel this gpa truly does show my potential. Any help would be great.
P.s. Please don't hound me about my former gpa in responses. Thanks!

Re: Gpa addendum help
AFAIK, that will not happen no matter how compelling your addendum. If I were you I'd try really hard to convey that you're serious about the study of law and not just continually seeking the shelter of continued education.ACinemaStare wrote:The reason I decided to attend school again was to raise my gpa and show law schools my full potential.

BTW, how's your debt-situation after those two Bachelor's degrees?
