Are you saying that the 3.68 is the results after the paper shuffling process? If so, that's a good GPA that shows you did well in uni. Depending on the details of your transcript, it shows that you're prepared, as far as academic skills and determination go, to succeed in law school. The only downside to your GPA is that it's lower than some school medians. Admissions committees care about that, generally, to the extent that they care about keeping their US News and world report rankings high. Unfortunately, you can write the most beautiful addendum in the world and it wouldn't change the number attached to your GPA, so it wouldn't change how your GPA would contribute to the schools median, which is all they care about (since there's nothing intrinsically red flaggy about that GPA). So an addendum might be gilding the lily, if not counterproductive, especially if the topic of the addendum is something vexing. My advice is to just focus on getting a better LSAT.
The only people who need an addenda are people whose grades are low enough that it actually raises eyebrows as to whether they're prepared to do the work in law school.
