Hello fellow 7sagers! I took the LSAT last year and received a low score but decided to apply anyways. I was waitlisted and then denied. I will be reapplying in the fall, with a new LSAT score. Regarding personal statement I am wondering if I should re use the personal statement or change it. Moreover, should I mention that I was denied last year and the work I put in this year to get a higher LSAT score? Thank you!

I'm reapplying this cycle after getting WL'd in the previous cycle. I've spoken to a lot of people who recently graduated law school as well as a few folks who formerly worked in admissions at law schools. They all say the same thing: you MUST re-write your personal statement.
I recently listened to a podcast with the Harvard/Yale deans of admission (not sure if it was them or another podcast but I'm 95% sure it was them) and they said you shouldn't reuse exactly the same materials/PS. I then wrote a new one. They're also going to know you were denied and will see your higher LSAT score, but I'd consider including one sentence in an addendum that you're re-applying with a higher score, just for context. Not necessary though imho. :)
