I am leaving a very lucrative career in finance (i have my MBA) to pursue a dream that circumstance didn't allow me to earlier in life. For years, I regretted not following through and pursuing law school when I was younger, but I am convinced that I am now a better candidate than I would have been 10 or 12 yrs ago.<BR/><BR/>here is the caveat, I scored miserably (and I mean miserable) on the LSAT. This does not come as a total surprise, however, given that my job requires that I work at least 60 to 70 hrs a week and I have 2 toddlers at home, plus I have a history of horrible standardized test scores), but I was upset none-the-less. Still, I will be sending out my applications this coming week. I am blessed to have a supportive wife who is willing to pick up and move wherever I get in... so we will see where life takes us.<BR/><BR/>So, all of that being said, here is my question. Should I include an addendum to explain my history of low standardized test scores (I did miserably on both the SAT and the GMAT, yet ended up graduating from both undergrad and grad school). The problem is I dont have specific data to cite... for the life of me, I cant remember exact scores (YEARS ago), I just remember literally squeaking into school on both occasions due to my low scores.<BR/><BR/>any advice would be appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649614440783096786.post-72595410683126036552008-09-25T17:17:00.000-07:002008-09-25T17:17:00.000-07:00Thanks for reading!Thanks for reading!Ann K.

Not sure whether 29 is considered non-trad, but great advice nonetheless!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917151871884606369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649614440783096786.post-10379965100781742992008-09-21T17:51:00.000-07:002008-09-21T17:51:00.000-07:00Thanks!
