Submitted Application Formatting Issues

Post by ebailey1212 » Tue Nov 10, 2015 11:46 am

So I applied to George Mason I have a 165 LSAT and a 2.7 GPA. I applied Early Decision, but when I looked back at my application I had some formatting errors. I didn't make any "typos" per say but I put my Email in all caps (for no apparent reason) and one or two other things of this nature. How much will that affect my application!!??

It will weaken your chance by 0%, or strengthen, you may say, because it's 0%.

Everybody loves it when people put their email in all caps, although it's even better when you don't limit the all-caps to just your email, but also use it on other important parts of your application, like your entire personal statement.

But don't worry, I'm sure the good people at george mason will let you pay sticker to attend their august institution next fall despite this oversight.

My primary email address is in all caps also, although it's in lower case in every place available on the LSAC website. I've tried to change it a million times, and it always just shows in all caps.

Formatting issues most likely will not have any affect on your application as long as

the content is solid, verifiable, and legible.

Best of luck!
