Addendum for 4 point drop?

Post by SNightHighlights » Thu Nov 03, 2016 11:35 am

Hey all, I got a 165 on the June LSAT but dropped down to a 161 on the September take. I had bronchitis at the time of the test and I wrestled with cancelling but honestly thought there was a chance that I could have done better. In hindsight being sick definitely affected my take (I felt like shit and kept having to low key take cough drops) and I think it had a lot to do with my score. Is this worth writing an addendum about? Would it help? I know schools take the highest score but I want to mitigate the lower score in the eyes of adcoms as much as I can and highlight how I think the 165 is what adequately represents my abilities.

No. You never have to write an addendum for LSAT scores. Never.

The school will only look at the 165.

Nope, they will only care about the 165
