Please, Need help: Addendum

I am preparing my application (to start LS next year). My question is concerning the addendum: Should I write one? In Peru, I did two years of medical school (1997-1998). Didn't graduate. Students, in Peru, enter medical school directly after high school graduation. Those two years had the equivalent of 22.50 credits of pre-med. My university, here, accepted my credits so I didn't have to take all the credits required for my bachelor degree.

Here comes my issue: First, should I write an addendum about why I chose medical school 18 years ago: I was young and stupid; didn't know what I wanted. Second, during those two years I got most Cs, one A, and one B (GPA 2.5 according my school in the US). I graduated from a FL university with a GPA 4. Do I need to write about why those grades differ so much even though it happened 18 years ago.

My school in FL has the grades and courses from Peru in its transcripts. LSAC also has the transcripts from my Peruvian university (LSAC wanted to do their own evaluation).

Thank you so much for your help

Double checked my ticket for next week (Oct. 3rd) and it has the initial of my middle name. Call LSAC to be sure about your ticket.

I am turning 37 this August. Finished undergraduate school at 35. It has been taking me almost two years to prepare for the LSAT. I didn't like my score from last June, so I am trying again this October 3th.

I took the LSAT last June 2015; and planning to take it for second time next week. I use also my glasses when my eyes get tired; I had no problem bringing them to the exam (put them in the bag). About the middle name, call LSAC to be sure that it is not an issue. My ticket did not have my middle initial last time (neither this time).

Writing Personal Statement

Hi everyone, I just took the June LSAT. Currently, I trying to write my personal statement while waiting for the LSAT results. English is my second language (born in South America), so creating strong sentences to express my thoughts becomes challenging sometimes. I would like to know, what you guys are doing concerning advising and editing (your essays). Do you guys know any services that can assist you in this writing process?

Broward College, Coconut Creek, Florida

Proctors: Two easygoing proctors. They want you to do well so they are worried that there are no distractions (such as, people coughing/sneezing too much, noise outside the classroom, and people with annoying tics). Proctors do not mind if you take a couple of more seconds (after time is up) to finish with the section (they even wait for you:)

Facilities: Restrooms are kind of far from the classrooms (but if you run to your way there and your way back, you are just fine! The running also help you to release stress).

Kind of Classroom: small classroom

How many in the classroom: 20 (we all have a lot of space in between us)

Desk: Fabric tablet arm chair (very comfortable; your buns won't hurt after being seated for 5 hours).

Left Handed Accommodation: There were two people who were accommodated accordingly.

Noise Level: The classrooms that were assigned for LSAT purposes were isolated from main hallways, food courts, or populated areas. LSAT takers were in classrooms that were close to each other. In other words, no noise.

Parking: Free, plentiful, very close to the area where we had to meet before going to our corresponding classrooms.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 1h 15m. Got there at 7:30 AM, we started the exam at 8:45 AM

Irregularities/mishaps: None. All the proctors were very efficient and super nice.

Dates of Exam: June 2015 and October 2015

Other Comments: I love the atmosphere at Broward College; you can feel the positive energy, which really helped me that day because I didn't sleep well, I was nervous and had a lot of anxiety. Proctors were very friendly and you can feel that they want you to do well. I highly recommend Broward College, Coconut Creek, Florida

I got also two LGs. The first one was so easy to be true; when doing that LG, I was kind of scare of what was waiting for me after the break. The second one was on section 5 (it was difficult). I think I messed up in RC (Beethoven...) I did not finished the last one (Newtown..), which seem kind of easy.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
