How many PS??

Post by aquafina17 » Sun May 25, 2014 8:32 pm

Hello guys. I am new to the law school admission process and have quick question.

Do each law school have their own topic for PS or have common essay topics like for undergrad?

I am planning to apply 4~5 schools and want to know in the advance and prepare for them.

Thx!

Most schools just require a generic 2 page personal statement. Details change from school to school, but you might be able to just write one.

That's nice! I remember when i applied to UG, i had to write common App essay and many supplement essays. At least that won't happen again.

A lot of schools will have "optional" essays too. The most common one is "why x." Poke around this site and school websites a bit, all of the info is out there. I think Michigan leaves their entire application online year round, it's pretty typical.
