Is it bad to be honest and tell them that the market wasn't good and wasn't sure on the career which is why I decided to retake and reapply the following cycle?

Schools deal with k-jd's all the time so it's not like you're at a disadvantage because of the gap. WE is such a minor soft anyways and the vast majority of schools won't even bat an eye.
this addendum is primarily just for my reach/target schools.
I'll take your advice, but to be safe I'll call the schools and see what they say. If they say, yea you absolutely should 100% its better to disclose then I'm gonna do it. If they say don't worry, I won't do it.Dirigo wrote:"."A.Taarabt7 wrote:Dirigo wrote:Still, don't mention it. An addendum will not cast the gap in a positive light.

How the f is that spruce?
If it were "I had to move home to care for my dying mother and we live in a remote village with no job opportunities," then maybe you could put that. But your real reason is nearly everyone's reason for a resume gap. How does your explanation help you in any way? What would you think if you were an adcom?
