Re: Take a look at my PS, farm boy in Poland to learning English
pan jaydizzle, this is more of a diversity statement than a personal statement. It's more of a bio than reasons why you should get a J.D.

Well damn it. I was hoping it was a good personal statement. I was researching a bit, and it seems as if schools were saying that you can talk about anything in the personal statement.

Re: Take a look at my PS, farm boy in Poland to learning English
This isn't a good personal statement because it doesn't give us any insight into you as an adult. I mentioned immigration and ESL classes in my PS, and I know that those can be formative experiences. But I don't think you should make something that happened before puberty the sole focus of your personal statement.
Also, as everyone always says on TLS, you shouldn't use a quote in your personal statement. You have very limited space, and you want to fill it with your own words.

Re: Take a look at my PS, farm boy in Poland to learning English
I feel like if you write about choosing to go to law school, people on TLS will come in and say "You didn't tell me about yourself" and if you write about yourself "You didn't tell me why you should go to LS"
..... am I right?

That's what I am finding. I guess I have to scrap this or make it my diversity statement?

Re: Take a look at my PS, farm boy in Poland to learning English
I don't know. I'm beginning to think that some people expect every PS to be an award winning piece of literature. Without tragic events/difficult circumstances/stories of helping disadvantaged people directly I'm having a hard time with my PS.jaydizzle wrote:That's what I am finding.
