Could I write about moving to the USA as a child and how that effected my college studies? Or is that too far in the past? Alternatively, I have been toying with the idea of writing about a huge perspective change that my family learned about when I was 17. I am 23 now, is that too far in the past?
Im thinking about writing about a moment when i was a kid (8 or 9) that sparked my interest in immigration/immigration law. I talk about things i did in high school and college along with future goals regarding immigration in the paper but im worried that it might be "too much in the past" what do yall think?
What if the school is only asking for grades, LSAT and personal statement. Would I then mention my GPA was impacted by working full time to pay for school (in a better way, dedication and discipline).

Just be careful to not be victim of resume rundown

#feedback The link under point 1. is not accessible for those without an admissions consulting package. A bit of a let down...
