I have two questions:

1. I took the February 2013 LSAT and got a 167. I just got back my results from December--163

Yes, I know that's a pitiful score (at least compared to 167). The thing is I felt I had studied more for December than for February. Coming out of the test I felt I did okay (slightly higher than last time), but in retrospect it seems some of my guessing and careless errors had a worse effect than they did last time.

Should I write an addendum for this? I was kind of sick that morning with a slight cold and a headache during the early part of the test. This doesn't feel like enough to warrant an addendum, but on the other hand I'm not sure how negatively a 4 point drop would affect my chances.

2. During one year of undergraduate I was placed on unofficial academic warning and then the next quarter received an email saying I was going to be placed on academic probation, which is official and is noted on the transcript. But meeting with my advisor a few days later, I was informed my advisor had already gotten the academic probation dismissed (I don't have a written record of this, but it's evident because nothing ended up on my transcript).

Since it doesn't show on my academic record at all, should I just not mention it on C&F questions? I mean it's not like it was recorded and then expunged, it was simply dismissed as soon as the issue arose. I still plan to note my academic warning on questions that specifically ask about academic warnings, though. What do you guys think?


Thanks and best wishes for 2014,
