Situation: 4 LSAT's: 137, 143, 141, 165.
Reason: Didn't study correctly, did undergrad with multiple internships and jobs. For the 137 I was part time in family law legal assistant, other part time internship at the PD's office, plus course load. GPA was 3.20 but CAS 3.0 (I repeated Bio and Chem, school doesn't count initial fail, CAS does.)
165: Graduated, own my business so I gave myself time by hiring an additional assistant to deal with day to day ops and concentrated on 7Sage and most importantly PTs.
My worry is that the schools would think this is just luck and that a similar situation could happen in law school, especially with the workload. On my personal statement, I plan to cover about challenges in starting my business and the lessons learned, I will also talk about learning from experience and delegating which would ideally tie to lessons learned in undergrad with the insane load I had. And also make it clear to them that I will hire someone to take care of operations to relieve me from the responsibilities of my business during law school.
But I'm not sure if an Addendum is warranted if I should just incorporate that into the personal statement.
Edit: Removed Diversity statement question that was clearly answered in the admissions course that I hadn't seen.

Just finished. I was interrupted 4 times in the only RC section I had. Pretty much in every passage. Each interruption was longer than 10 minutes. I had to go back an re-read everything and try to answer the questions. The whole section was a disaster.... The Proctors kept taking control without saying anything and when they tried pausing the test the macbook bar would come up so they would open a bunch of other apps including photos from my phone and Spotify with the clock still counting.
If you think this affected your score should go into your LSAC account, make an official complaint, and request a makeup test.
ProctorU screwed the pooch during my test in June and I was able to redo it a week later.
Also, majorly not cool that they were accessing your personal photos!
Thanks. I got approved for the re-take on the 26th.
