Addendum

When I applied to Vanderbilt, my SAT score was below the median for students admitted to the university. Despite this, I excelled academically. I finished my undergraduate career with a 3.96 GPA, and graduated summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa with honors in Politics and International Affairs. I attribute my ability to secure a full-time position as a public policy assistant at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Feld LLP, in their Public Law and Policy practice group, to these academic achievements. I recognize that I now find myself in a similar position applying to Georgetown University Law Center, in that my LSAT score is below your median. Just as the SAT was not the best predictor of my ability to succeed in college, I believe the same applies to the LSAT: given my academic performance at Vanderbilt, I am confident that I have the necessary skills to thrive as a legal scholar at GULC.

7Sage Admissions Committee feedback
This is a short-and-sweet addendum that doesn’t try to do too much. Lucy lays out her evidence for why standardized tests are not representative of her ability to succeed, without focusing on test-day anxiety or lingering on any negatives that might inspire fear about how she’ll fair on the bar exam. Georgetown Law was convinced.
