Where to include research experience?

Post by IPmaybe » Wed Aug 20, 2014 3:41 pm

Hi all,

I did a quick search and didn't find a post answering this question, so hopefully it hasn't been answered too many times before...

For law school applications, where would it be appropriate to include research experience during undergrad? It'll definitely be on my resume, but for the online application, would you put it as an internship in the employment section, or would it be an extracurricular activity? Furthermore, if you did a summer research program, would that be an internship (if it isn't for research at the home university)?

Thank you for any insight TLS can provide.

I would not put it on employment OR extracurricular. I just left mine on my resume. Why do you want to put it on multiple places?

I don't know. I saw that the apps asked for academic achievements in a separate section and on the resume, which is also true for employment/extracurricular section so I guess I assumed that would be true for research as well (with research being somewhere in between those). I suppose it isn't necessary though.
