@ Agreed, that's why I'd never even thought about writing one prior to hearing the Michigan comment. It seems like a very grey area, but it sounds like it may be better to err on the side of caution and submit an addendum just in case.

I went to an UMich information session last week, and she raised an interesting point I hadn't previously considered regarding writing an LSAT addendum for my application. Michigan strongly suggests you write an LSAT addendum for scores with a 6+ points difference. My first LSAT (2 years ago) was a mid-160s while my most recent LSAT just barely beats that 6+ improvement threshold. I'll write the addendum for Michigan, but it got me thinking about whether I need to write an addendum for other schools that request it for "significant differences" in test scores.

Does a 7pt improvement meet the threshold to submit an LSAT addendum if schools don't specifically state the number of points they consider to be a difference? The reason for the difference is primarily - I studied harder, didn't start a new job 5 days before test day, and was much more focused this time around. Interested to hear thoughts.

I will likely be starting a new job (same industry, new company) within the next few weeks. I've already submitted my law school applications, but I'm wondering if I need to send an updated resume to the schools listing my new job? The resume was current and correct when I submitted it, but will be outdated by the January/February time when decisions are being made. I plan to call my top schools to hear their individual preferences, but I was just wondering if anyone had faced a similar situation. Thanks!
