How does someone write a quality personal statement without a compelling experience to write about? I am considering hiring help to come up with ideas for the personal statement and to write it because I have no idea what to write about!
$7.00 for a box of 36.

Recommender will obviously make the final decision to send it herself.
Is it considered "narcissistic" to edit and change an LOR?
The LOR sounds pretty good but any improvements are a plus.
I am taking the December LSAT. Should I start writing the PS while studying for the LSAT(now or in a month or so), the day or so after the December LSAT, or the day I get my score back?
Also, could I use the same personal statement for every school or are these schools that have different personal statement topics from the general open ended topic? If so, which schools are these?
Breakfast: Oatmeal, cereal, hard boiled egg, avocado, pancakes,...etc?
During the test: nuts, fruit,...etc?
Approach to reading passages and lr stimuli, answering questions, process of making inferences in LG, reviewing RC and LG, timing strategy for all the sections, etc
Thanks!
Should I do any LR, LG, or Rc problems untimed before BR or should I just stick to the BR process and do all the problems timed at first and then only do the circled problems untimed during BR?
Well it's all relative. The professor who wrote the LOR that I am for sure using was excited about writing the letter and remembered with great enthusiasm one essay that I wrote for her despite having many students each semester, like it was one of the best works she has ever read by a student of hers. I got the impression that I was one of her best students ever and hopefully that was conveyed in the LOR. The professor who I feel wrote the "mediocre" LOR seemed happy to write the LOR but at the same time it seemed like he was fulfilling an obligation. The major concern I have is that he asked for my resume which to me implies that my work in his class did not speak enough for itself and he needed to discuss things outside what happened in his class to write the LOR. He seemed impressed with an essay I wrote in his class but the relationship I had with him was nowhere near the one I had with the other professor. I am concerned he wrote a laundry list of my resume in the LOR.
I have two academic LOR's already on file. However, one of them might be mediocre(ok but not "knock your socks off") but I don't know because I waived the rights to see it. So I want to get one from a volunteer advisor I volunteered under. How should the LOR be formatted(ex: paragraph 1:......paragraph 2:.......etc) and what should be discussed in each paragraph?
Also, should I send two academic LOR's only, two academic and the one from volunteer advisor or one academic and one from the volunteer advisor?
Would be very difficult to meet recommender in person so I was wondering how I would go about asking for a LOR via email. Should I suggest anything for the recommender to write about?
Since PT 1-35 are already used in the curriculum, is there a way 7 sage can provide the full section LR and RC sections for PT's 1-35 to students who already purchased the course?
Question Bump(I was not able to attend the webinar)
For the question, "Have you ever been subject to academic warning, probation or suspension at a school, college, university or other educational institution?" is that talking about academic related issues after high school? I was suspended in high school for uploading some pictures online. I tagged one guy's name in the pictures(like what people do on Facebook) and I didn't get his consent so his family threatened to sue the school if the school didn't punish me even though I took down pictures with him in it when he asked me to(or according to this student friends, the school punished me on their own because the student "didn't ask" the school to punish me). The school accused me of putting the student "in danger" which I thought was ridiculous because people tag other people in online pictures all the time. Most importantly, I did not get any criminal charges for this.
With this context, would I have to disclose this? Do I have to disclose anything from high school if the infractions were not academic or criminal?

I found an opinion on this online in case anyone's interested.

According to Ann Levine, its "unprofessional" to ask to see the letter of rec but I believe it really depends on the relationship between the applicant and the recommender. The most important part is that its allowed even if you click "yes" on the waiving to see LOR box and she even says its, "increasing common practice" for recommenders to send the applicant the LOR before submitting it.
