I am a federal employee and I am wondering whether or not to include my clearance on my resume or not? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure why it would be helpful or relevant unless the schools you're applying to are concerned that you're a terrorist.

Federal employee here, absolutely did not include mine. Not sure how it would be relevant.

Relevant for jobs but not for LS admissions. Definitely remove it for this purpose

100% irrelevant for LS admissions.

Superfluous for job search. Your prior position will imply your security clearance to anyone who cares, I assume.
