My advice from what I heard from my school's law advisor is to write the statement as best as you can without worrying about the length at first, then once you are done with it take it to a professional to proof read it and you will be surprised how much you can take out of your paper with out changing the meaning or content within it. She said to me that we as college student tend to be "wordy" so try that out if you haven't already! I hope this helps!

Good Luck!

Biography:

I am 21, recently graduated from Texas A&M University this past May with an AgriBusiness Management degree and my GPA was 3.6. I took the Sept test which was my first time and plan on taking the Dec one. Most of my interest schools are out of state but I am also applying to some in state school.

Biggest worry:

I am worried about my LSAT not being competitive enough at my top schools. I honestly only want to apply and get in to top 50 law schools.

Two ideas for your personal statement.

1. My upbringing, I was born and raised in Sudan, Africa came to the states when I was 12 years old and spoke no English until then. My family has been through some tough situations that thankfully landed us here.

2. My experience in 7th and 8th grade shaped a lot of me. Being bullied and overcoming the cultural shock and language barrier.

Did you attend last time? Did I get to you? No
