I am a reapplicant for this cycle, and I have been struggling with the task of capturing my identity, experiences and goals succinctly within a Personal Statement. As a result, I have written a number of draft Personal Statements (both for this and last cycle) in the hopes that once they are on the page, there will be an obvious standout. Unfortunately, it was not that simple.
Current options include:
An "overcoming difficulties" essay
An essay regarding my passion for a specific field of law
An essay about how my childhood shaped my worldview
A "my values and beliefs" essay that establishes my interest in law
Several essays regarding leadership traits/qualities I gained through various experiences
There are also many others, often with some mixture of the elements above. All of them include personal stories and a description of why I want to go to law school (with room for school specific details to be inserted). I would love advice on how to narrow down to the essay that will be the most effective at persuading an admissions committee that I would be a great candidate.
I am submitting applications for the second time this fall, with the plan to attend law school in the Fall of 2027. I have two letters of rec that I used last cycle from my college professor and college debate coach. I have been working for almost a year now as a legal assistant, and I am trying to decide if adding a third letter of recommendation would help for my applications (for places where three are accepted). If I do include one, I would also need to decide if I ask someone I work with now or a professor from college. Does anyone have advice on how to decide the number of letters and who to ask?
I was really excited to recently find our that 7 Sage has a mobile app! Unfortunately, the option to log in with Google does not exist, and trying to log in with the Google credentials I would have used did not work. Is there a way to get into my account otherwise?
There may be a way to do this that I have not figured out yet, but I would love to highlight and annotate lessons as I go through them. It helps me comprehend what I read better and would make it easier to find important parts if I bookmark lessons to return to them.
Thank you! That is super helpful.
