Hi Ethan, my question is about putting together a compelling story for admissions. Specifically, for candidates who had a non-traditional major, how important is it to offer an explanation for why that major/why now law school? And could the personal statement be a good place to do that? Its been difficult for me to decide between structuring my statement as one that (a) draws a connection between my undergrad studies and the legal field, or (b) explains my personal motivations/background which have inspired me to attend law school.
