Question about PS topics
Posted: Thu Jul 21, 2011 1:16 am
Hello!
I currently have outlines/rough drafts for two potential personal statements.
In the 1st one, my anecdote shows some traits about me (resilience, overcoming adversity with a smile, aspirations, etc), but does not link to law school, or "why law" in general.
The 2nd draft has an anecdote about discrimination I experienced in the past, which makes it easier to tie to "why law."
Of the two ideas, does one carry an edge over the other for having/not having some connection to "why law?"
Basically, does it matter if there are no ties to law/why law in the PS?
