I was reading an article published a few years ago about personal statements, and it recommended to specify the personal statement to each school you apply to. It had two examples where the authors included 2-4 sentences showing some knowledge of the school's programs and why it aligned with their personal stories/interests. (https://www.usnews.com/education/best-graduate-schools/top-law-schools/articles/2017-04-27/2-law-school-personal-statements-that-succeeded)
My question is, is necessary or even good advice? I haven't seen any schools recommending this on their website, and Harvard specifically states that they don't really want it (They say: "As for discussing HLS in your personal statement, we do not recommend it. The admissions team knows a lot about Harvard Law School — but we don’t know much about you quite yet."). I understand that you shouldn't make the entire statement about a certain school, but am worried that even the 2-4 sentences recommended by the US News article might be penalized.
I'd love to hear people's thoughts about this!
I took the September LSAT yesterday, and didn't feel burnt out when I eventually took it. The day before I did one RC passage (medium difficulty) and about 10 LR questions generated by 7sage. I know most people say to not do anything, but I personally felt that this practice was light enough to keep my brain thinking about the LSAT but also not stressing me out. The morning of the test I did another RC passage and 5 LR questions as warm-up. I think if you do practice right before the LSAT, don't check the answers! It could be stressful or psych you out, and just doing some light practice is more important.
Good luck!!!
