Thank you for helping me with my law school application by taking a look at my personal statement. Because this kind of essay is supposed to tell the admissions staff something about the author that they could not otherwise get from the application, personal statements are written on a wide variety of topics with one overarching concept: it is always about the author - obviously.

Personal Statements DO NOT have to be written solely on why the applicant wants to attend law school, but they should allow an admissions officer to decide whether or not the applicant would bring something interesting to a class if admitted. With that in mind, I invite you to read through my latest draft and answer a few questions at the end.

Thank you for your help,
Pat
