There is anecdotal evidence that this MIGHT affect your chance at Yale ever so slightly. That's it. Don't write an addendum. What would that even say-- that you messed up the first time? That's not exactly enlightening information that changes anyone's view of your score.

I went from a 165 to a 177. My first score was a fluke due to majorly messing up one Logic Game, but I know a couple points were due to the extra few months of practice.
I'm stressed because if I had the 177 alone I would have great chances, but I'm worried the earlier score will "dull the sparkle" of what is otherwise a fabulous score... And I'm worried the lower score will affect scholarship chances that a 177 might offer. (GPA is 3.9x if this affects anyone's take on the situation.)
Can anyone weigh in?
Agreed. With a 3.9/177, you're likely in everywhere except Yale and Stanford. And if those schools don't want to admit you, it's not something you can fix with an LSAT addendum.april_ludgate wrote: There is anecdotal evidence that this MIGHT affect your chance at Yale ever so slightly.
