When I began formulating my personal essays/statement, I tried to focus on providing an interesting narrative that I thought helped to explain how different specific events have lead me to a way of approaching the idea of the law. I've tried to maintain a narrative form, rather than going all-out abstract essay.
However, I was recently reviewing some personal statements online, and I noticed that a number of people made note of their academic achievements. For instance, UofT, arguably Canada's #1 law school, provides this online document for prospective applicants: https://www.law.utoronto.ca/documents/JD/UofT_Law_Personal_Statements_Examples.pdf
What have other people's experience been with this? Is it best to "slip" these in? Gotta say, when I've tried to work them in so far, I kinda feel like a prig.

Thanks @davidbusis895 and @leahbeuk911 !
Must say, considering that I haven't written a nice personal narrative piece in a long time, this is kinda disappointing. Oh well, just keep playing the game. :smile:
Canadian law schools tend to prefer something much closer to a traditional cover letter, so it's okay to tell a narrative that's largely a game of connect the dots with your accomplishments.

Nice catch! Yes, only Canadian schools.
