Sending updated resume/PS to law schools? Forum

[NDJ]

When I sent my first wave of applications out a couple weeks ago, since it was already late in the cycle I wanted to get them out ASAP. Having had some time to reflect on my personal statement, I was able to write what I think was a much better one for some more schools I just decided to apply to a few days ago (HYS). Also, I spent a bit more time on my resume, making it a bit more updated and comprehensive and generally a bit better. My feeling is that sending an improved PS and resume would make it look like I didn't give it my entire effort the first time around - which regrettably is probably true - but on the other hand my statement is definitely much better, and there are a couple of cool things I accidentally had left out of the resume revision I sent (and one or two which only came up in the last couple of weeks anyway).

My numbers (174/3.6) make me much less of a reach for the other schools I had sent for (CLS and down mostly) so I honestly just didn't put as much thought into the other parts of the application as I did for HYS, and also I just didn't know I had this other better personal statement in me.... (edit - i also got some great editing advice from a few people on here since then, don't want to take full credit..)

Any thoughts on this? If anyone thinks it would not look entirely ridiculous please chime in...

Alright so..

In reference to the resume - you can probably send an updated resume IF IF IF *IF* it has something more to offer that they care about. However, I think if that IS the case then you can just write a LOCI or a why X including that piece of information and let it shine. If it's just neater then fuck it imo.

The PS is set in stone I think. Again, if you have something to add then write a why x or a loci but you can't resend a PS. How would that look? "Oh I was in a rush and it's sort of sloppy but here's my second attempt"

That's my two cents..

cool i hear..its also that i mentioned a couple of work things that ive done in my PS that are not on my resume..
is it the end of the world if i say something like "in case you haven't looked over my application yet, i was hoping you could switch in this PS/resume for the one i submitted. thanks!'

I would not say that. I would possibly say "hey take a look it's updated with new shit" but not "please switch this.."
