I counted 5 "greats" in the last paragraph/4 lines alone. I need you to SHOW me why you're great, not tell me. Can you come up with a different example as the focus??

Obviously you've got a good story here, but it failed to move me.

I also kind of grimaced at the bit about you liking to debate even though it wasn't necessarily the typical "I like to debate so I'll be a good lawyer" line.

I guess my problem with your PS starts in paragraph four. All I get from that point on are references to qualities you tell me you have. It's just a bit much, and I find myself looking for you to show me those qualities instead of just telling me you have them.

And to be fair, the debate line I was referencing earlier is probably fine. Also, watch out for some passive sentences here and there.

My strongest impression after a quick read of this early draft is that your profile is memorable--and this is good when applying to highly competitive schools.
