Submit LSAT Addendum Before LSAT Score?
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2014 4:08 am
First post!!
So this might come across as a strange question but there are a couple schools I want to submit my application into before I receive my LSAT score because the schools insist on submitting before December/January (for instance, Berkeley). I am taking the December LSAT however and will not know my official LSAT score but based on practice tests I feel I will probably score below some of their medians. However, I do have a relatively high GPA (3.8 ) and am an URM.
Anyway, my question is, if I apply this month will it look bad to attach an LSAT addendum when I do not yet have an LSAT score? I wouldn't talk about a low LSAT score since I don't have a score yet but I wanted to highlight the fact that I have a history of under-performance on standardized tests (scored in the 1400's on the SAT) and yet graduated summa cum laude from my undergrad (where the average SAT was in the 1900's). I am pretty sure I want to include these facts regardless of my score since I feel it is relevant. How would I best go about doing this without an LSAT score? Or should I just submit my applications without an addendum and perhaps try to add one later if I get my score and am not happy with it? I am just afraid they won't see the addendum in time if I try to add it when I get my score if I submitted my application in November.
Thanks everyone!
