i think it's very good, I cant think of anything negative to say about it. It was very well written and describes who your are pretty well.

couple of items that I think would sound better if they were reworded:
"did not know what I wanted to do with my future" - i dont like this sentence, i'm sure you can word it better given how the rest of your essay was written.

I would replace "full-time school schedule" with "full-time academic schedule".

I like it. Nice to see another musician around these parts.

I like that it does more showing than telling, and I really like that it doesn't read like a resume. I think it reads well and holds interest without problem.

The only thing I'd like to see a little more of is a connection between your guitar/business/college experience and your desire to go to law school. You want to go because the business market crashed and you want to fix it? It's kind of unclear in that regard.

Otherwise, I think it's well done.

Thanks a lot for the criticism. I made a few changes, and I will keep trying to solidify the connection between music/college/law. More feedback is welcome!

Love the first four and one-half paragraphs, don't care for the final three and one-half paragraphs. The concluding paragraph needs to be revised.

Thanks, can you be specific?

[CanadianWolf]

The first portion deals with your actual achievements while the final three paragraphs talk about the future in a manner that suggests that you are very young & overly idealistic. The two conflict because the first three paragraphs present you as determined, level headed, hard-working & mature. Law schools should readily admit the first person, while being wary of the second as needing time to mature.

Okay thanks a lot, I will revise it.
