Hi,
I am wondering if I should write an addendum, and if so, what I should say. I have a 151 on the lsat and a 3.9 gpa. First of all, I am not a great standardized test taker. I received a 1200 on the sat with a 4.0 high school gpa, and my high gpa at college shows that the sat was not truly reflective of my ability to succeed and that I am not a great standardized test taker. Someone suggested to write this and to offer to submit my sat scores? What would I write?
In addition, my family has been going through some tough financial difficulties over the past year (almost a foreclosure, spending cutbacks, stress, etc.). Although I am not looking for excuses, I partially attribute this huge lsat/gpa split to this, in addition to not being a good standardized test taker. Should I mention one or both of these things? Again, don’t want to sound like I’m looking for excuses, just want to show that my lsat score may not be a true indication of who I am and my abilities.
I did retake the lsat; I do not believe I went up more than a few points, for the same reasons mentioned above. Thanks so much.
