Deleted; re-wrote it!

The expression is "deep-seated", not "deep-seeded". ("Deep-rooted" is also acceptable.)

You lose credibility when writing that "...the distaste for my own name was the most substantial challenge I would ever face." & "No other challenge can rival that of severe distaste for one's name." These declarations are pure garbage. Otherwise, you are a capable writer with an interesting theme.

Thank you very much for your inputs; much appreciated!

Do you have any suggestions on a steps to take from here? I did not know how this PS ranks amongst others and/or how it would be perceived. I also had concerns on how much more I should write, what I had written is nearly two pages double spaced.

Sorry, but I disagree with Canadian Wolf. My intention is not to be mean here, but your PS does not make you seem like a likable, worldly person, but rather an insular person with huge insecurities. Thousands of people will be applying to law schools from different parts of the world, and their names have constantly been butchered. I myself has had it done to me several times and still do from time to time. Definitely reconsider the topic or at least a shift in balance in the topic as at this point, it's about 80% fear and humiliation and 20%, what you would consider a significant achievement.

Thank you for your input. I definitely see where you are coming from.
