He's been known to come out of that in a misleading way

Isn't showering without one nice? I always hate feeling restricted by the curtain. Oh but I guess the problem of water running away. Whatever. YOLO.

it's always cool when 2 TLSers meet up IRL. But you know this means you must PW for proof right. And I've realized why it's such a bitch to make an amazing PS. Because PS are about ourselves, and I'm not an amazing person. Fuck.

My new PS:

"My LSAT is 172 and idk I think I'll do ok at your school, probz median. Interview ok, will have decent changes at successful OCI."

Is that why mine was so easy to write?

<3 u PNJ, I'm sure it will be awesome when you get it done.

Seriously, I'm trying to write about myself and my (Hahvard) friend gave me this golden tip:

- Use a personal account (i.e. Show not Tell) to trigger an emotional connection for your reader, and use that emotional connection to convince the reader that they want to accept you.

He told me to avoid "logical" appeals, because they always either come off boastful or CV-ish

Too bad I don't have a personal account that is powerful enough to trigger any Ethos (is that what it is?) in an adcomm, or I don't have one that I can relate to how/why I will excel in law school that is relevant to my topic (my time working in Shanghai). I just haven't saved any busloads of children, so I can't in good conscience make up a story about a child hanging onto her fragile life by a few fingers, screaming for help as I crawl over a solitary beam hanging over a cliff.

Yeah my buddy got into Harvard with a statement about Tetris. No joke. He showed it to me and it blew me away.

"If you can trigger an emotional response, you can talk about butterflies and potatoes and your reader will still go 'Damn.'"
