As a side note, I don't think that "not caring for ten years" makes a very compelling addendum- people usually write addenda for things like severe medical issues, taking care of a family member, etc.
I guess to be more specific. I spent 10 years in active addiction. I have 5.5 years clean and have been going to school the last 3 almost 3.5 years. Since I began school again I have received 4.0 every semester.
My highest practice score has been between 151-155, but I also haven't been practicing much. So I know if I keep it up til test time I can bring my numbers up.
I am also quite confident that after the fall semester my GPA will hit at least 3.0 or more.
I have an addendum explaining my grades (ten years of not caring/wasting away opportunities). So, even if I bring it up a bit I still want to include that.
So, I am conflicted on what to do.
I have a 2.93 GPA and my June LSAT was 149. I am retaking in November.
Should I begin applying when the cycle starts in a week?
Should I wait til after scores are posted for the November test?
Even more, should I wait til the grades for the semester are posted and then apply? (mid-December).
I am not trying to get into any T14 or hell even T20 schools, I know my numbers aren't good enough. So I am aiming for realistic schools that I may actually have a chance in.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone. It definitely helped :)
