Should I write GPA addendum?

L. Woods-2L. Woods-2 Member

30 year-old here, graduated college 8 years ago. Splitter with 174 LSAT, 3.61 CAS GPA. Nothing happened to me while I was in school, but it was a long time ago and I don't think my GPA reflects where I'm at now.

Is it appropriate to write a short (few sentences) addendum saying the above? Or will it be obvious to admissions officers that my undergrad was a while ago and the addendum would be an annoyance?

Thanks 7sage community!

    With a 174, it seems obvious.

    I'm not experienced, but that's what common sense is telling me, for whatever that's worth

    Good luck!

    I am writing a GPA addenda for my own situation, but from what I gathered after speaking to admissions officers is to bring as little negative attention to your application as possible. The point of the addenda is to get in and get out. I need to explain my situation because it would leave a huge gap in my application, however if your situation is not glaringly obvious I would not. I would address personal growth in essays and put a positive spin on it. If you have any doubts I would talk to the admissions advisors for the schools you're looking into. Best of luck, but you wont need it :)
