@montaha.rizeq said: unfortunately there's some schools that don't give an option to write an addendum unless it's for GPA/LSAT purposes. What do you say regarding that? Yes, some of the schools I'm applying to won't let me attach an addendum. I …

@DEC_LSAT Me too! Thank you so much for the kind words. This 7sage community is way better than TLS. TLS seems likes a bunch of trolly trolls, lol.

@montaha.rizeq said: but seriously stop talking down on yourself! Thanks! I know I should be more positive. The past week has been super rough so I have been a super downer. Now that it's Saturday I'm in a little bit better mood. I'm getting …

@montaha.rizeq said: Yeah....this is tough because you do want the record to show that you are a since changed and matured individual. I don't understand why you wouldn't be given an opportunity to explain yourself. Is there no place at all for any…

GOOD NEWS!! I found out that my top school choice has the following C&F statement on their application: Have you ever been convicted of a crime or adjudicated delinquent, or are there any criminal charges pending against you? (You need not rep…

@"Alex Divine" said: If you were a minor and have a record of seeking therapy/counseling I think that will work in your favor as well! I don't personally have the records and I know the shrink I used to see is retired. Would this make or break my…

@"Alex Divine" Wow thanks for the thorough feedback! Some of the criminal charges were when I was a minor, the record has been sealed but I know that an FBI background check will bring them up. I did seek therapy/counseling as an adolescent. But …

OK, so two of the offenses were driving 1-10 miles an hour over the speed limit, one was "SPEEDING OVER THE REGULATED OR POSTED SPEED LIMIT," one was following too closely, one was for negligent driving/imprudent or full attention, and one was fly r…

Damn... I'm so surprised to hear that the traffic violations will be the main concern. I would have thought those would be minute compared to the possession of marijuana. Well thanks guys, @DEC_LSAT you did not come off too aggressive and I appr…

@"DEC_LSAT" said: nooooo sorry i'm just giving you my opinion! I don't mean to be so overly sensitive, I just have put so much effort into my future in law school. Once I found out about the background stuff I nearly passed out. It sounds like …

@DEC_LSAT Scratch that, it was 7. I just looked up my record on my state's dmv website. Had one in 2009, three in 2010, two in 2012, and one in 2013. Will they really see a poor pattern from this? I feel like a majority of the population has a wo…

BTW, thank you all for your support. I feel like I should owe you money for this therapy.

@DEC_LSAT Wow, I figured the traffic violations would be the least of their concerns. In my 11 years of driving, I want to say I've gotten somewhere in the realm of 8 traffic violations altogether. None of them serious, most driving 10-15 over the…

@montaha.rizeq said: Well hit up the schools you're applying to and ask them directly if they would need this info. I will do that. Gosh, I'm so embarrassed.

Oh my god... Even being suspended in high school?! Well... I have a lot more to add my list. I practically lived in detention in high school.

@"Cant Get Right" Well, I'm glad to hear that I am not fucked. I've been scouring message boards to try and see if there is anyone else with criminal background like mine but I can't seem to find anyone. This literally gave me the hugest rude awak…

@montaha.rizeq Thank you for the feedback! Yes, I plan on writing the best addendum anyone has ever seen. So are there other people who have applied to law schools with a criminal background similar to mine? Were they accepted?
