With regard to personal statements... Forum

... do they have to be serious?

My first PS was too clinical, so people told me to make it more personal. My second PS was a variation of the first, only it was depressing and it kind of turned people off. Now I'm considering a completey different approach that is more lighthearted (my passion for listening to and playing music).

Does that sound like an acceptable personal statement?

I understand it doesn't directly connect to the law, but the way I approach to music (analyzing small details, constantly rehearsing, developing unique relationships, etc.) is tangentially related.

Embarrassing bump... opinions, anyone?

I think it sounds like a fine topic.

Your PS doesn't have to be "why law" - if you can write well and with enthusiasm about music, go for it.

Cool, thanks a lot for the reply. I really appreciate it.

Anyone else have perspective on this?
