Mistake In Law School Application

MontecarloMontecarlo Alum Member
in Law School Admissions 38 karma

So I applied to a couple local law schools about a month ago and I just realized that I sent my old resume and not my new updated one. The only real change is where I currently work and everything else is relatively the same. I just wanted to be sure if this is ok or should I send it to them as an updated resume? Or should I wait until the decision and then send it to them as an updated resume? The thing is that I stopped working at my previous job in like August and began working at this new place in December. They're both law firm jobs. Someone please let me know how I should handle this? I know it's a minor mistake but still.

    Can you contact the schools office and ask if you can send an updated one? They should be able to say yes or no.

    I would contact the admissions office as soon as possible. It is an unfortunate mistake but I think it would look better to take action and take responsibility than to wait.

    Prepare your updated resume and send an email out to every single school you've applied to so far. I did that and they all accepted my updated resume when I realized it over the new years. For most if not all schools, make sure to send it into their admissions email.

    Most law schools have a way to for you to send updated materials through a portal or via email. You can just contact them saying you've had a change on your resume and you'd like to send in the new document. This is very normal. I'd do it asap though.
