I wouldn't bother. Even though you were under a lot of stress, mentioning things that fell in a three-month window of the test is a bit of a stretch for an addendum.

Thanks! Even the roommate thing though? That happened literally weeks before the test and I didn't even have a permanent living situation when I took the test (couldn't move into the new place until a few days after). A couple of people said Yale might actually care about score differences, and NYU will average scores unless you give a good reason for them not to do so.

0L here but I thought the consensus was they didn't really (and I didn't write one for 160->171 though I don't have a great reason either).

A 9-point jump across just 2 tests with nothing else fishy going on causes the person reviewing it to think "shit happens lmao, glad they got the 174". Even if their office is in New Haven.
