Personal Statement Help

harrismegan

Today is the day. I am going to sit down and .... start..... my personal statements. I've applied to a program before, but I'm just not sure what to write or if I'm on track.

I know this may be weird, but does anyone have a PS they'd be okay with letting me read? I just want a general sense of one, to make sure I'm even kind of on track. Or... does anyone know of a place I could go for a reference/help?

Thanks a bunch

.... I just noticed I purchased the PS bundle with 7Sage..... so I guess I will check that out. Has anyone been through that portion of the course?

People post their drafts here for people to criticize. I admit I lurk on there too...

Yeah, I have, it's pretty interesting and will give you an overview and a push in the right direction of where to begin.

you can go to specialized websites where they offer to write what ever you need instead of you. there's a lot of resources of that kind but if you're way too inexperienced then go to https://papersmaster.com/ and if you can't afford to order your personal statement then you can at least find some instructions how to write it by yourself.

DO NOT DO THIS!

Not only is this a terrible way to start out a career in law, but you actually do need to be able to write effectively in law school and as a lawyer so please don't encourage people to take bullshit shortcuts because how are you going to survive legal writing if you can't write a 2 page essay about yourself?
