Personal Statement about Sexual Assault
David Busis
Member Moderator
Hi 7Sagers,
Every once in a while, an applicant asks us if it's okay to write about personal trauma, and specifically about sexual assault. The short answer is yes. Your story is yours, and if it impelled you toward a career in law, then it's not only appropriate to say so in your personal statement, it's powerful.
I wanted to share with you one of the most powerful personal statements I've ever read. The writer hopes her essay helps you aspiring applicants put your own statements on paper. You can read the essay here: https://7sage.com/law-school-personal-statement-about-sexual-assault/

This essay has great direction. Reading it felt like a funnel that naturally lead to the application. Is it ok to be so narrow with the subject though?
