Do we have to talk about why we are applying to a particular law school in our personal statements? Some of the schools I'm applying to do not ask for a "Why School X?" type essay so do we have to talk about that in the personal statements even if it's not asked of us in the prompts?

1. Sew it into your personal statement without swaying away from the prompt, or
2. Add it to your application as an addendum. Many law schools include a section which accepts any type of attachments one may want to add.
3. Submit your application and after the school has received it, email them your "why x law school" and request it be attached to your application.
Make sure you do your research on specialization(s) and/or programs the school may offer and show interest in such programs/specialization(s).
You can also send additional statements to the school, so usually I will just send my personal statement, and then write a 'why x school' statement and either email it to the school (they'll add it to your file) or upload it through LSAC. Both work.
