should you put a heading on your personal statement?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody know IF anything should go on the top of the person statement? This would include something like my name and LSAC account number.

I am submitting an additional information document, and my advisor told me to put my L number and a title at the top of that, so i was wondering if the same is true for the personal statement?

If so, does this count towards the space limit?

thanks

Alex

Yes,

Something generic is usually recommended like "Personal Statement" at the top of the page.

I mean I would assume it would count towards the space limit. But it really should only take up a line and then another line or two to space it.

Yep. Name, LSAC account number and "personal statement" written on top

Also lol don't take up too much space with this haha. It should be a few lines not double spaced.

Good Point @montaha.rizeq !

I was told to include the same information, but to add it as a header so that it falls in the 1-inch margin required by most schools and doesn't take away any space from your actual writing.

Absolutely this as well!
