idea for personal statement topic

Post by bepurple » Thu Jul 08, 2010 3:07 pm

I some ideas for a personal statement topic but I would like some input:

1. I was diagnosed with a disease at the age of 7 and how I have been able to work past it and do better than what the doctors thought.

2. Talk about my life and how it has been filled with obstacle after obstacle and how I have been able to overcome them.

3. how my personality and character has allowed me to persevere through certain aspects of my life

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

These are all the same. Overcoming adversity can make a good statement, just make sure it isn't whiny and woe is me.

Yeah. Do number one. Make it shine.

Also: number one would be even better if you also had numbers that suggest you wouldn't do as well as others in law school too (e.g. below median, low GPA, etc...)
