Self-paced
My Bachelors undergrad GPA is a 3.81, with my final semester being a 4.0, but my cumulative is much lower because when I first started college (to get my associates degree) it was at the outbreak of COVID + my living situation was not the best and my grades suffered. Should I be worried about this as it was now 6 years ago and since then I have been constantly getting presidential's list, etc.? Is this something I should write an addendum for? I feel since I have consistently gotten dean's and presidential lists since, then those alone show that I am a good student, but is it still important to write an addendum to explain the difficult situation I was in? SHOULD I RETAKE SOME OF THE COURSES I HAVE LOWER GRADES IN FROM 6 YEARS AGO?

Write addendum and you're good. Explain why the grades were lower and why the higher grades are more indicative of your situation.
@Bagle Thank you.... there are various factors that impacted it, should I try to focus on 1-2, or should I try and give an overview of that point in my life?
@KSki I think you should be ok describing just 1 or 2 factors - your recent strong grades will speak for themselves! :)
