Personal Statement Dual Degrees

Christina Walton · August 2020

I am hoping to do a dual degree at Boston College to get both a JD and an MSW. I am wondering if in my personal statement if I should mention that I want to do the dual degree and why, or should I just make it about law school?

I'm looking to apply for dual degrees as well and from what I've read (nothing about Boston College though), is to keep the applications separate. If I were you I might briefly mention your desire to get a Master's as well if it's relevant but I wouldn't go too in depth. After all, this is a statement for law school, and I assume that when you apply for the MSW you'd write some kind of statement for that, too.

Howdy, Stranger!
