How much time to write personal statement (advice needed!)
Posted: Thu Oct 14, 2010 5:19 pm
So I really want to go to Cornell Law, it's my #1 choice and i'm using their Early Apply option. My LSAT/GPA numbers are right around their medians.
I started my application essay yesterday and am almost done with it. I'm going to have a few people proofread it, give me feedback, and then send it in this weekend with my application.
My question is, am I giving myself enough time on the personal statement? It feels like a strong essay to me, but I've been reading about people on here who have spent months on their personal statement, so I'm second-guessing myself. Any opinions on the matter would really appreciated!
