Hi, thanks for doing this!
I had a very winding path through undergrad, going to school in 3 countries and transferring twice. I ended up taking an extra year to graduate because of this. I really valued new experiences and living abroad and that was my guiding motivation. I wasn't a bad student but I wasn't an amazing one by law school admission standards.
My main question is: how should I expect schools to view this (I don't have an LSAC GPA, but they will see my many transcripts) and how to address it? I was planning on a matter of fact addendum to clarify my path, but I'm unsure if I need to justify why I choose it. I'm worried I'll seem flighty or unserious. I will be talking more broadly about my experiences living abroad in other written materials.
I have just been faking it until I make it with S/N because I've never seen an explanation that fully clicked for me but the boxes are helpful!
