Same personal statement for every school
Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2012 1:40 am
I was under the impression that I can use my general personal statement for every school. Each personal statement description appears similar, giving you the ability to write what you want.
Now I am confused. For St. Johns Law, the personal statement description seems different. My personal statement involves an event in my life, how I reacted and showed perseverance, and how that has made me become who I am over the years into who I am (and why law school). Can this fit for all personal statements, including different appearing ones like this?
Thanks so much!
Applicants are required to include a “personal statement or short essay” with their application. Suggested topics include:
your decision to pursue a career in law
your reaction to a recent current affairs event
your feelings about a particular community service or extracurricular activity with which you have been involved
your reaction to a particular item you may have read recently (fiction, nonfiction, or poetry), whether in an article or a book
