Does the connection need to be VERY strong between "the experience" and "why law school"? My road to wanting to be a lawyer is long and boring/somewhat cliche. My experience living and working in San Francisco for a year and some of the things that I dealt with during that time is so much more interesting and is personal in the way that I think it should be. I have a deep connection to my PS, I cried while I was writing it, my sister cried when I read it to her, my mom cried. My goal isn't for it to be sad, they had a deeper connection with it than an admissions person would, so I don't think it's sappy. It says what I want them to know about me and describes an important time in my life, but the connection to law isn't incredibly obvious. Suggestions?
One app specifically says that they already know I want to be a lawyer, and that I really shouldn't try to convince them how serious I am about that. Others seem to want a "why law school" PS. Anybody want to read it and let me know if you can see the "why law school" connection?
I am in the exact same situation. I've written two different personal statements and I hate them both. One I think is raw and real and tells them more about me personally, but the people that I've had read it weren't getting what I wanted them to get out of it (mind you, they have no idea what a personal statement is supposed to be). The other one explains my journey of deciding on law, but I feel like it's stiff and I have no connection to it. I'd be open to reading yours if you'd be down to read mine. I think I need someone to read it who understands what a personal statement is.
