Didn’t put a header on PS or any additional essays - how bad is it :(

I don't know WHY I didn't do this. I assumed it was enough that I was naming my documents and attaching them in the right places, but I don't actually have my name or LSAC # or a title on anything I submitted. Not my addendum, or personal statement, or programmatic contribution. Should I be worried :( Freaking out a little. I was rushing so much I didn't even notice. Should I email the schools with attachments that have the headings? Will this affect me negatively because I didn't follow directions or something? I submitted these applications about a week ago

    Unless the application specified that should be done I wouldn't worry about it.

    I’m pretty the schools I applied to wrote in the instructions that you should include a header and your lsac# on each doc but I could be wrong. If you get turned down by a school it’s bc of stats/softs/how well written your PS is/how you appeared in comparison to other applicants, not bc you forgot headers or missed a comma somewhere.

    It happens. No one is perfect. Try to see if the instructions require a header. If they do, I suspect that you should probably email them to amend your application. This is just my opinion though, and you should probably try to get on the wednesday office hour and ask David.
