Personal Statement Question Forum

Is it ever okay for a personal statement to cover many events/resume pieces...

I know the normal advice is do not make your ps a narrative resume... but the best way I can tell my story is to overview how many of the items in my resume fit together...

talk me out of it?

write it. post it. see what kind of responses you get.

Any chance I could PM you it? I don't really want it posted in a thread.

[tourdeforcex]

go ahead.

Generally all law school personal statement advice suggests that one should steer away from summarizing your resume. Try writing a draft that draws from one of these experiences and see how this contrasts with your original piece.
