Not really. Those grades will be reported and calculated into your gpa.

I know. So I just need to write an addendum?

[preamble]

If the W is non-punitive, it won't impact your GPA. The B's and the F will, unfortunately. How many credits were each class respectively?

Is there anything I can do besides writing an addendum?

Not unless you can convince said college to amend your grades. Can either the W or F be made into a non-punitive withdrawl?

How would I tell if it's non-punitive? The F was 2 units

Needless to say, I HATE LSAC.

Call the school's registrar and ask. Does a W on their transcript affect your school GPA.

Your cum GPA is still going to be like 3.9.

Yeah, I was just doing the math and realized this. It's really a non-issue unless OP is a reverse splitter.

There is no such thing as a reverse splitter- just someone who needs to retake.

Then I understand the frustration. Obviously retaking the LSAT would be a smart move, but you already know that.

I think your only other option is to explore whether the F could be changed to a W, assuming those are non-punitive at the school. Do you have any good reason for the F? Some way you can explain to the tutor that you should have withdrawn but, given your age, didn't realize the potential consequences.

I've no idea if you'll have success. I imagine it's going to require a willing tutor, registrar and permissive school policies.

Also, retake the LSAT.
