PS Ideas
Posted: Mon Jul 12, 2010 9:44 pm
Hey Guys
So I took the June LSAT, am really happy with my score, and am now going to try and focus on my PS since applications aren't really available yet. My main problem is I have NO IDEA what to write about, but have a few ideas. Any and all suggestions stemming from these would be much appreciated!
1. Discuss how my childhood impacted who I am today-- When I was younger my dad was in the air force so we would move around constantly, basically never went to the same school, so maybe I could talk about how this impacted me as a person
2. Try to tie mathematics with law-- I am a math major, which I feel is somewhat unique for law school applicants so I thought about making a PS discuss my passion for mathematics and how it relates to my passion/interest in law
3. Discuss my job on campus-- I'm relatively sure I am going to put this in an addendum, but for my UG school I interview prospective students/their parents and do a write up which goes into their file-- Again, nothing too interesting so prolly not gonna be the PS, but I wanted to put all possible ideas out here
4. My passion for the Civil War-- Basically I'm a huge Civil War buff (used to reenact, collect artifacts, etc) and it is a big part of my life-- I think this one would be somewhat difficult to make seem meaningful, but it is a big part of who I am
These are my four really rough ideas now-- I know they would need to be developed more, but just wanted to see what other people thought about them. Obviously the typical I want to attend x or y law school essay is still a possibility, these are the others right now
