Should I write a gpa addendum? Forum

Short version: Addenda aren't for classes being hard.

If you subtract my first two years of college my GPA goes up a ton, to be fair.

Well this is only 1/4th of my first two years, and hd I not chosen to take japaenese I would have taken more of the other courses I have taken.

More to the point: did you write an addendum?

I wouldn't.

I mean, if you subtracted all the engineering from my transcript and looked only at the required liberal arts core crap and electives, my GPA would skyrocket. And upper-level engineering classes are obviously harder than, say, 200-level macroeconomics and copy editing. But that would be a pretty dumb way to look at my transcript.

you just said it yourself....an addendum is not to explain your poor choice of courses

More or less what I knew the answer was.

Just frustrated with my own choices/my japanese departments idiocy, combined with substellar october lsat results.

Thanks for the input. I will stick with my initial impulse and not write one.

I would advise against writing a GPA addendum in this scenario.

No. This is redonk. "Languages are hard" is not an extenuating circumstance. If you exclude my study of Arabic from my GPA, it goes up .2. In my Arabic classes, I was being graded against kids who were not only native speakers but who had tutored the language on the level that we were studying. Boo hoo for me. No addendum.

You have a 3.77 GPA. If you write an addendum, you will look crazy. Anyway, your law schools can't report your excuses to USNWR, so they are irrelevant.

If I subtract the college classes from my transcript I have a 4.0.

don't you then have a 0.0?

don't you then have a 0.0?

Actually it would be an irrational number due to being divided by zero.

Are you going to write an addendum about it?

No, as that logic does follow, i'm fairly certain the school reports it as a 0.0

[sharpnsmooth]

what LSAT would you need for t-14 with a 0.0

I'm contemplating writing an addendum for my sophmore year grades. Even though people on TLS dont think I need to, I dont feel like explaining a very poor year of grades regardless of its effect on my overall GPA would hurt.

I'm writing one that states, if you you subtract all the classes I didn't want to take I would have a 4.0

The threads that ask "Should I write an addendum for my 3.7 because I rulllllly should have had a 3.8" just makes me scratch my head. Do you really think the law school will sit there and say "Wow, this guy is a 3.7 student, but since XXXXXX, we should really think he is a 3.8 type of student!"
