Re: Law School Application Time
burko,
they get your full transcript and will see the upward grade trend, but it never hurts to attach an addendum. I think including it in your PS statement is bad just because it detracts from whatever story you are trying to tell. Even if your PS is about similar topics, putting the grade info in a separate addendum is probably the best way.
A lot of apps have a specific provision that says soemthing like "if there is anything else you'd like to tell us/ comment on/ explain" then do so here. I'm not sure how your transcript looks given the transfer, but I think it'd be fine to attach something that focuses on your recent grade excellence. dont even bother with the negatives. Just something where the gist is "Since my transfer I rededicated myself to my studies and the grades from that point forward are an accurate reflection of my abilities". It will also help if you have an LSAT score to back this up.
