Personal Statement

lmena4865-1 · July 2021

I am in a confusing position: I haven't taken the LSAT yet so I don't have a score. How do I know what personal statement to write if I have no clue what school I will apply to? Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind that the personal statement is all about you as the candidate, why you want to go to law school at this point in your life, why the school would benefit from having a person like you in their incoming class, and what you want to do with your law degree. You don't need to know where you are applying to write your essay. Good luck!

Howdy, Stranger!
