Include a link to your Linkedin page on your law school application resume? Yes or no?

Do you have a fairly common name which would prevent someone from finding you quickly on LinkedIn when they know your name, hometown, and college?

Do you have something amazing on your LinkedIn profile that you cannot squeeze into your resume?

I wouldn't just because it's kind of pointless. You'll already have submitted a resume so they'll know your employment history & LORs so you won't need them to see that other people have said good things about you on LinkedIn.

Good point. I'll leave it off.

Thanks all.
