Getting closer? An almost final fraft Forum

the start was attention grabbing without being too much and I liked the story but I agree with other people here that the essay doesn't say enough about you

And just to put things in perspective, while you may be good at writing, this PS is average in terms of style, word choice, coherence, and flow. I don't believe you should be 100% confident that your writing is going to make up for the riskiness and ambiguity of your PS.

Again, I don't want you to think I'm taking a shot at you. You really do sound like a nice person with an interesting story to tell, and you know your package better than any of us do. Just be realistic about the choices you are making and don't be too stubborn to add a little "safety padding" with a few conventional PS components like actual goals or personal strengths and skills.

Thanks for this.
Re: writing. Giving that I grew up in israel and hadn't written in eng more than a few sentences until I moved here, I'm content.

I believe you don't think I am not appreciative that you took the one to read and comment, I truly am.

Good luck to you as well

The first 7 paragraphs should be reduced to like 4 sentences. Seriously.

I'll send you a msg after I get decisions. Thanks for reading my statement though

I hope the adcomms enjoy learning about falafel making, because they sure as shit aren't learning much about you. You'll likely get into the schools that your numbers allow for, so I won't need any private message to confirm such, but you aren't doing yourself too many favors with this statement.

That's your opinion, which is completely valid. Others who read it thought differently, and I gave it to many people to read and comment. Some 'regular' folks, some who know a lot about the app process and some who went through law school. The majority overall liked it. I'm not saying that some won't think what you think, and I respect your opinion. I believe that it works for me and my application which is very far from the avarege applicants in many parimiters.

Thanks again for taking the time to read and comment.

Your welcome. Just remember, "regular folks" who you talk to face to face won't be nearly as honest or critical with you as anonymous internet users. Indeed, people in the US aren't, by and large, nearly as blunt as Israelis generally are (I lived in Israel for 5 months).

Not trying to be a bitch but I agree.[/quote]

This post combined with your avitar made me smile. Thank you.
