I've been working on a few potential topics for my personal statement throughout the past couple days, and I wanted to bounce them off the community here in order to see what people think about them and which ones could turn into the strongest PS. I think I want to go into administrative law after graduation, but I'm not convinced on that since I haven't been exposed to law school yet.
- How my academic interest changed throughout undergrad from engineering to political science and how this change, coupled with experiences, gave me a passion for policy and the good it can do for people
- Talking about an individual event I put on through student government in support of in-state tuition for veterans and how that inspired me to want to help people through policy and advocacy
- Talk about my experience shadowing a public defender and how that was the confirmation I needed to know I wanted to study law
These are the ideas I have right now...are these topics too 'normal' or cliche? I'm afraid of going after a topic that just summarizes my resume or is too widely used.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
