Writing an Addendum for Pass/Fail Grades

Hi all,

I have a pretty specific question that I am not sure others will have a definitive answer for. During my Sophomore year of college I was studying on exchange in Hong Kong and due to the protests I was ultimately evacuated from the country with 72 hours notice. This left the remaining 6-8 weeks of the semester online with little to no preparation for the transition. Based on this they gave us the choice to go pass/fail instead of letter grades which I elected to do. I have heard that some admissions offices do not look fondly on pass/fail grades and I was wondering if this sounds like something worth writing an addendum for. Thank you in advance!

    I would write one because this wasnt due to the pandemic right?

    If your transcripts show you were there during that time, write the addendum and point out the situation. That is what they are for.
