Top Law Schools

In my addendum, should I break it down with numbers, or assume that they will have my transcript and know the numbers? The addendum is regarding a very specific year of fail due to my mom's illness/death and my role as her caretaker, and my gpa is something like this:

community college as a HS senior - 3.0
4-year university for a year - 1.0 (as calculated by LSAC, the school had me at a 2.0)
community college + transfer to somewhat more prestigious 4-year university - 3.75 (maybe a bit higher)

So...pretty big difference. This has put me at a 3.3 overall.

(also, anybody want to read it for me?)

ETA: I didn't write anything on the 3.0 as a 17y/o (may have been higher, haven't checked recently) - I was a caregiver at that time as well and working as well, should I add something about that? I assumed since it wasn't "terrible" and I was clearly young that I wouldn't really need to explain it, but I can.

I can't wait to read it.

Your dreams are about to come true!

im also interested in reading this. Where will you be posting your gpa addendum?

I'll PM it!

The addendum is where you make your case for them to view your GPA in a different light. You don't want to make them do the math - do it out yourself.

Feel free to PM it to me if you want someone to send you some notes.

I thought it might be helpful to update this and say that I spoke to some admissions people and they told me to include numbers
