Top Law Schools

I recently sent an email to update my grades for the spring semester and express my continued interest in the school. I Bcc'ed myself to make sure that it went through. On checking the Bcc I found that MS Outlook had managed to mess up the formatting thoroughly. The first three lines which were the Re:, my LSAC account number, school id etc. now ran together in one line instead of on separate lines how I had written it.

I'm worried whether the admissions committee will think I'm a dumbass who doesn't pay attention to detail. Is this something I need to email them about with an explanation or will they assume that MS Outlook has been up to no good as usual?

I wouldn't worry about it.

LMAO, I guess the numbers are all that matter. However, are you the exception or they know that such inconsistencies will generally creep in?

ya bro, no one cares if you were in the Panda Appreciation Club in middle school.

Hey now, but I was president of that club.

My guess is they won't care, either way. They'll probably presume something went wrong, and as long as they can decipher it, I wouldn't bother. There's a chance it may not have been bungled on their end, anyway. If they can't read it, they'll contact you.

Speaking of clubs, I got elected to some positions for the next year. Is that worth mentioning to the committee? It might backfire as a negative since it implies I'll be abandoning those posts to attend another school if I get in.

I wouldn't bother. Other users may disagree, but I don't think it would give you any kind of bump. A named scholarship or something like that is a different conversation, but, secretary of the International Law Club isn't going to do anything for you.
