Law School Personal Statements
There’s only one thing worse than having to write a law school personal statement and that’s having to read one. Put yourself in the place of a law school admissions officer. You know that the majority of applicants want to practice law for reasons that having nothing to do with truth, justice, or the American way. You read essay after essay hoping to get some sense of the people behind the applications, and instead you get the same boring, prefabricated personal statement. Justice. A passion for law. Maybe a lame anecdote about volunteer work or the debate club. Your eyes glaze over and you start to skim.
Part of the problem is the persistent mythology that law school statements don’t ever matter. Now don’t misunderstand, in some cases they really don’t. If your undergraduate GPA and LSAT score are considerably higher or lower than the median scores of your fellow applicants, your fate may be sealed before your personal statement is even written. But for students who are on the cusp or for those applying to competitive law schools where there’s no such thing as a sure thing, the personal statement may be their only opportunity to put a face to their test scores and transcripts, to become something more than a data set on the LSDAS report.
