UCLA essay
Posted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 5:17 pm
hey, i'm reading UCLA's essay questions and I have a question about what type of essays they are looking for.
UCLA PS topic: In this essay you may discuss any matters relevant to your ability to suceed in law school and the practice of law and any attributes, experiences or interests that would nable you to make a distinctive contribution to the law school and/or the legal profession.
It sounds like a grey area between personal essay and professional essay (well, as anne ivey's guide goes). I have the impression that they want you to write some stories and then link to my interest/desire to pursue a legal education and discuss my qualities for being a good law student and a good attorney after i'm done with law school.
my PS is completely personal, talking about my personal growth, and have NO EXPLICIT TOUCH about how I become interested in law (except in the last sentence I mentioned why i want to go to law school), I wonder if that's enough for this sort of "grey" topic?
