Value of Addendum

I doubt an addendum would have any influence for just a tenth of a point. If it dropped your GPA half a point… perhaps

But the diversity you add as a first-generation college student who faced adversity could potentially be worth more than a tenth of a point. But I think trying to connect the two is unnecessary. Rather than using it as an excuse for why you did poorly in those classes, try to show that it was an acheivement to make As and Bs in your other courses despite your father’s condition.

That’s just my personal opinion, don’t think there is a right or wrong answer.
