I'm probably getting caught up over trivial details, but what do you guys put for "Step two: Describe the file" when submitting your personal statement on law school apps? Just "Personal Statement"? Same question for "Why School X"/"Why Lawyer" essays.

    Thanks for your help!

    One more thing: Do you put your LSAC account number in the header for the personal statement? Harvard says to use your CAS number for "identification purposes." Is this the same thing as the LSAC number, or distinct?

    Same question(s) regarding the résumé.

    Thanks again.

    Yes. But I don't think you need to put your LSAC number on your résumé.

    Since you have Ultimate+, you have access to 7Sage's Admissions Course, which includes samples: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/dashboard/

    Details are important! I put "Personal Statement." For "Why School X" essays, I put "Interest in X Law."

    For your résumé, just put "Résumé":

    13 Don’t call it a resume. It’s a résumé.

    Show your attention to detail by writing résumé even in your file name. The easiest way to get the e-acute character (é) is to copy and paste it. On a Mac, you can also simply hold down the E key until you get a menu.

    Hope this helps!
