GPA/LSAT addendum for non-traditional Military applicant

I've been an officer in the Marine Corps for nearly a decade and I want to make it clear that I am a more disciplined and capable student than I was when I was an immature 21 year old. Cum uGPA of 3.51 and an LSAT of 169. I took several practice LSATs in the mid-high 170s, but on test day I panicked when I realized my phone was on in the background. Anyway, would a LSAT/GPA addendum for schools like Yale be worthwhile? I studied for the LSAT while deployed to the middle east and then while working 60+ hours as an attack helicopter pilot stateside. I don't want to sound whiny, but I do want to instill confidence in the admissions team that I am more capable than my numbers report.

    Interesting question. Hmm...

    I think the soft application components are the place to convey this best, actually.. A kind of, "I feel like I am just getting started and I'm becoming a better student all the time" kind of message.

    Maybe?
