I agree with you: "I can't imagine how something as small as this could actually be an issue with" the assessment of your character and fitness by the state bars of your choosing.jubee wrote:I've read on here about updating your application after being admitted to a school if need be. A few questions:
Do you only do this for the school you end up attending? (Thats what I assume)
My circumstance: After reading stuff on TLS I've become somewhat paranoid about every little thing on my application that could affect C&F. Mainly, I didn't list the two jobs I held prior to college on my resume or employment section. My law school advisor told me generally to not include things before sophomore year of college on my resume, so I didn't include them and figured it made sense for the employment section to mirror the resume. Before TLS, I never would have thought that would been an issue. I left both jobs under amicable/normal circumstances (left for college). I actually wanted to include them to show how I've held jobs for a long time but followed the advice I was given.
So main question: Would it be appropriate and standard practice to just send an updated resume with this info after I am committed to a particular school? Do they even look at updated items once you've been admitted or just put it in your file pretty much?
Again, these are things I would never have imagined would matter as they are not lies/omissions or twisting of facts for some type of gain from an admissions standpoint. I can't imagine how something as small as this could actually be an issue with C&F down the road, but I don't want to obsess about a few random details for the next 3 years.
Thanks for any advice! If I come off neurotic, apologies
