Are PDF attachments allowed?

Post by LawSNC » Wed Dec 30, 2015 2:32 pm

I'm looking at the LSAC page where we attach our personal statement and resumes. It says that it supports PDF as one of its file formats, but on another page and in older forums, I read that PDF is not supported. I'm really confused!! I'm thinking if anything, perhaps this is a new LSAC application update for this application season. If any of you guys have already applied/ know more, do you know if we can attach with PDF? That would be so much more preferred than a word doc, especially when it comes to attaching the resume. Thanks so much!

Yeah put anything you can in a PDF. I found some Word doc formatting is messed up when I reviewed my application before submission.
