Tear up my PS!
Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2013 2:40 pm
This is my current UG personal statement that has served me well so far, winning me major and minor scholarships thus far. I was hoping that I could amend it for use in Law Schools apps as opposed to re-writing my PS from scratch.
I'm an AA male, and my main concern is that it is to focused on race, and may seem a bit whiny about "the struggles of being black." The message that I want to present is that I am not in a position to step back from the spotlight; I have to be able to speak up for those that are voiceless, even when it makes me uncomfortable.
There are a lot of high school references, which will be amended in the future. This is just a preliminary analysis of my PS so I know what to work on.
Also, I go to a southern university, just to add a bit of legitimacy to first statement in the PS.
Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance!

edit: Got some good responses through pm, etc. so I decided to take it down. Thanks for you help guys!
