It's hard to give this advice in a public forum (and I do help people with just addenda if you'd like - see www.lawschoolexpert.com ). It depends whether you're a consistently low standardized test taker, or if something strange happened on test day, whether/why you did or did not retake the exam, how you were doing on practice exams.... The answer is different for each circumstance. However, if you simply wish you'd done better an addendum will probably fall flat....Ann K.

What else have you done?

A retake in December might not be a bad idea if you have time to continue the prep for it. <BR/>I actually tell my clients that I LOVE a 25% chance; I have a great track record of clients getting into schools where they have less than that so I'm certainly not discouraged by what appears to be a small chance.<BR/>Please let me know if I can be of help to you.Ann K.

I was eyeing some T14 schools, Northwestern in particular, but this score combined with my relatively lackluster 3.36 GPA means that I have only a 25% chance, according to LSAC's calculator.

You don't even have to send a letter about the future LSAT date because most applications ask that and your LSDAS report will show a December test registration. At least they can compile the pieces of your application and process it through the system, waiting only for your new score. <BR/>The answer is yes - there is an advantage.Ann K.
