Addendum could hurt?

Post by drich88 » Sun Oct 11, 2015 9:56 pm

Hey y'all,

I was considering writing an addendum that describes a period of anxiety/depression I had that affected my GPA somewhat in college. My worry is that adcoms will think that I wouldn't be able to handle the stress of a law school environment. The thing is that my anxiety was pretty specific so I honesty don't think that'll be the case.

Should I write the addendum or will it hurt me more than help me? Is there a way to write it that will limit any concerns on the adcoms' part? Thanks!! :|

Probably by 0.05-0.07. So from a 3.72 to a 3.67
