How to address academic probation Forum

[floatie]

At one point in time, I was in a graduate program, but due to my own health reasons as well as needing to spend a significant amount of time as a caregiver, my GPA in the program dropped and I received an email from the program director stating that I would be placed on academic probation. After meeting with the director, I made the decision to withdraw from the program. When I looked at my online transcript, there is no mention of me being on academic probation, and honestly I'm not sure if I even was "officially" placed on academic probation, since I ended up withdrawing.

I've already written an addendum explain why my GPA was low, why I withdrew, and what I have been doing since withdrawing from the program (which is a lot).

My questions are:
1. In the C&F questions that talk about academic probation, should I say anything?
2. Will having to withdraw from this program have a huge negative impact on my application?

My uGPA is a 3.2 (science major) and LSAT is a 173.

EDIT: There's nothing on my academic summary stating that I was on academic probation. Should I just not mention it, and stick to the withdrawal?

We have almost identical numbers, and I was also placed on academic probation. I wrote a one-page addendum explaining the situation and highlighting my later improvement, and it didn't seem to impact my results significantly.

Thank you, Hikikomorist!

Bump - any other thoughts?

I would acknowledge it because it's better to be safe than sorry. Write an addendum explaining the situation and you should be fine. But not disclosing it and somehow the school finds out later could pose HUGE issues for you.
