So I am pretty happy with my personal statement, but it does use certain creative liberties to add to the flow and story telling. It includes some fragmented sentences for emphasis points, as well as some general use of creative license with grammar and sentence structure. These sentences I'm referring to aren't correct by the standards of a strict English teacher, but would be employed in a novel for storytelling purposes and are generally 'good'. I really want to keep these sentences because I feel like they add so much to the story. I am wondering about the degree to which creative license can be employed in personal statements-if at all. Please help.

@ Thank you!! this is super helpful and made me feel a lot better
I was considering the same at one point but I kind of put it out of my head after attending the financial aid and scholarship session on 7sage. My reasoning was based on financial aid aspects. The speaker basically said that Law schools mainly care about getting students into their 1L admitted class based on your scores and the scores the schools are trying to hit for each year, so when you transfer, you are unlikely to get scholarship money because they are not competing to get you to enroll in their 1L class. If you aren't worried about the finances of it all and think you have the work ethic to do applications and get good 1L grades I guess those would be the factors to weigh.

My weakest point for RC is law passages (lol). I am trying to read more law based articles so I don't burn through Passages. Does anyone have any resources for law articles that they would recommend?
Im interested!
