I'm wondering if I should write a GPA Addendum relating to ADHD. I'm currently undecided, as I've read many conflicting opinions online (some saying it could hurt my application.) Here is my story:
So, I was diagnosed with ADHD in middle school and took medication up until the end of high school. I stopped because despite trying several alternative medications and dosages, the side effects of weight loss and anxiety were far harsher than the medications' benefits. Throughout most of college, I felt not taking the medicine was more beneficial for my mental and physical well-being at the expense of the disability impeding on my academic performance and being unrepresentative of my intelligence. This past summer (2024), I spoke with my psychiatrist and started taking a new medication that alleviates the symptoms of ADHD and doesn't have any nasty side effects. Currently, I am performing at the top of most of my classes but my worry is that this is meaningless because the proof isn't on my transcript. My CAS GPA is a 3.04.
So do I write it? Let me know if y'all have any questions.
I skip around passages from easiest to hardest. typically, at the 3rd passage I start comprehending the passage less than if I were doing this passage isolated to the rest in the form of a drill . I assume the issue is because I have trouble shifting focus from passage to passage. As a result, I find myself not being able to complete 4-6 questions because I try to keep understand the passage after the initial read to reference those questions. Does anyone have any advice to overcome this> Thanks.
So I’m getting ready to take the October LSAT and I’ve realized I’m not even close to ready. My entire time drilling, I’ve only ever done LR. I’m in a bad spot. I’ve barely touched on RC but I am hoping my stride for mastery of LR will help my skills on RC. I suppose this leads me to ask what is my best strategy to getting prepared for this test? How many questions should I be drilling per day? To add to the frustration, I’m not sure I’m getting much better at the question types that I most struggle with. I’ve only done a few practice tests since I feel like drilling would be more effective because it’s targeting my weaknesses. Any advice is appreciated.
agreed. although, i did briefly weigh other answer options at first.
unrelated to this video, but people who are seeing this around the time i post this comment, when did you start the curriculum and when are you taking the test?
