LSAC# on Resume?

davi2526

I read somewhere (TLS I think) that it was suggested to put your LSAC# on your resume for applications - is this a good idea? Would I just include it in my header? I could just delete my phone number and include my LSAC # instead.

I know I need a header with name, LSAC#, and title of essay for all the application essays, but I hadn't even thought of putting it on my resume. I hope it's not too big of a deal considering I have already submitted quite a few.

Any ideas either way?

FWIW: I have not heard of that piece of advice myself.

And I believe the resume is so insignificant compared to the other components of the application that I wouldn't worry if you'd already sent some without it on there. I think it'd have to be an extreme circumstance where the lack of an LSAC number on a resume was the difference maker.

Plus, as far as I can recall, most places want a typical 'professional' resume. I wouldn't put my LSAC number on an ordinary professional resume. So in the absence of any information telling me otherwise I'd (personally) be inclined not to bother.

Hmm. I think it would be better placed on your personal statement.

It's definitely on my personal statement - just wondered if it needed to also be on the resume. Thanks for the advice - unless I get instructed to specifically on an app, I'll leave it off my resume for now.

yup, leave it off!

Nothing bad would happen if you put it on your resume, but it's not standard. Leave it off.
