I already submitted 5 apps and I just realized I probably should've included my LSAC number on my resume. I wasn't thinking. Is it a big deal that I didn't? I have it on my PS and my optional statements but not the resume.

I didn't put it on anything. Did any of the directions say to?

You'll be fine.

If you applied to the T14 I am pretty sure most of the instructions tell you to. It is common sense/courtesy to do it in case the papers become shuffled or something.

Do "papers" get "shuffled" these days ? I really hope our docs aren't printed and put into folders. That sounds like a logistical nightmare. I'd assume they have it on the computer. I titled my Docs with " Name Name - PS / Resume - LSAC# " assuming it's all on the computer. Here's to hoping. Regardless, OP, don't worry about it.

Dude, you're going to scare people being that vague.

The AdComm is not going to weigh your application based on whether or not you put your LSAC account number on your resume. Period.

It doesn't matter.

The instructions for at least the t14 don't say anything about it, while many of them say to do it for your personal statement. So I doubt it matters (and none of Harvard's sample resumes have even fake numbers on them.)

I never did and it hasn't mattered in the least bit. Don't fret.

Doesn't your resume have your name on it?

While it is common practice to put your LSAC # on PS, etc. in case they get "lost" in a pile, it's not like adcoms are throwing a big pile of apps on the floor and fornicating all over it. They won't get THAT mixed up. You will be fine.

That was the point. We drive ourselves crazy trying to micromanage every detail. Getting into the school of your dreams won't do you any good if you work up an ulcer.

Hmm, I would probably take that trade.
