CRAP! Forgot to attach an important addendum to an app...
I forgot to attach a score addendum to my application to a "consider" school. I really think the addendum will help my chances of getting in. What should I do - contact the Admissions office and send them the addendum?

You can email it. But if you're just explaining why your highest LSAT score isn't as high as you'd like, an addendum is a total waste of time. It's more likely to come off as entitled excuse-making than anything else.

Would it look bad to email it to them? Should I apologize or just ask them to include it in my application?

You can just email them stuff, but a score addendum rarely helps anyone's apps. What's your excuse for bombing the test?enidwexler wrote:Would it look bad to email it to them? Should I apologize or just ask them to include it in my application?

I would say to email it without a worry and do NOT be apologetic about it. Just say that you have attached an addendum which should have been included in your application package and you hope that it will be considered with the rest of your application under review. Name/ LSAC # / Call it a day.
Sending them more shit only forces them to open your file more which IMO can only HELP unless you're an auto lock out, which you aren't.

So, I'm thinking: non-apologetic email including the addendum. How long should I wait to send it? I just hit submit on the app last night.

PERSONALLY I would wait for them to "complete" your app so that you're sure they have a file. I would NOT send it now before they have a file because they have no where to allocate it and that may inconvenience them.enidwexler wrote:It's a long story.dingbat wrote:You can just email them stuff, but a score addendum rarely helps anyone's apps.

tl;dr - wait til tracker w/ complete then email them
p.s. - I plan on sending a few docs this way (DS and why x)

if you're auto admit or auto ding, it doesn't matter.toothbrush wrote:Sending them more shit only forces them to open your file more which IMO can only HELP unless you're an auto lock out, which you aren't.
If you're borderline accept, annoying them may get them to ding you. Sending something additional every few months is fine, but doing so every week will probably get them to think you're a disorganized putz

Agreed if you are sending them things that are req or that you "forgot". If, however, you send things with the intent to supply additional information to make their decision, I think it can fly without a problem once or twice TOPS.dingbat wrote:if you're auto admit or auto ding, it doesn't matter.toothbrush wrote:Sending them more shit only forces them to open your file more which IMO can only HELP unless you're an auto lock out, which you aren't.

But yes, I think that we are generally on the same page =)
