Two Pages... Forum

[Diiizzzzoooo]

I don't think I'm asking for advice. Maybe I'm just venting. 2 pages? I mean, I just brainstormed 5 single spaced pages of crap, and every one of my schools wants a double spaced 2 page journal entry. My life has been fucked. I have an immense story to tell here, and this two page limitation is a major pain in the rear end.

Oh by the way, I copy/pasted many of the PS from Ken's book into word, and guess what? Almost All of them went over this limit. Just sayin'.

Yeah....get over it. We all had to cram our PS into two pages. Think about it this way. If you had to read 5,000+ applications in roughly three months (including resumes, addenda, letters of rec., and the actual application itself) would you have time to read 5000+ five page personal statements?

Also, one of the biggest skills you focus on in law school is being a "concise" writer. In other words, you get no extra points for being verbose or wordy in law school. In fact, a student that can thoroughly and clearly explore an issue in a concise format usual does very well in legal writing.

Well, that was quite the unnecessary kneejerk reaction I wasn't expecting. Listen man, I am doing something we all have done at some point in our lives, it's called bitching. Yes, like a bitch.


I'm aware of the incredibly thankless and tiresome work admissions officers perform, slaving over thousands of essays, behind a desk with horrendous muzak on low volume playing in their offices.


And if there is one thing I know, it's brevity. And not just in my writing. Ask my ex girlfriends. Again, I'm just bitching. Again, like a bitch.

No sir, see, Jets fans don't bitch like a bitch. No, we cry like a bitch. We cry like a bitch from watching a team that sucks for over 40 years tickle our balls for two years and then suck again in 2011.

Haha, I'm a Phins fan. We hate each other, but we are the same.

My God. We'll see you soon. I'm pretty sure that's a guaranteed W for us, considering you guys are trying to get LUCKy in the offseason. As bad as my team looks, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
