I am thinking about re-using parts of my undergrad personal statement. Would this make me run the risk of getting flagged for plagiarism? Thoughts?

Assuming you have not matured in any way since then, by all means go for it. Especially double down on your high school achievements (if they figure in your statement), law schools are really keen on hearing about those. Good luck, follow your dreams!

Well i transferred my junior year so my undergrad essay isn't achievements about high school, its about achievements when i was college-age. But you don't think it would be plagiarism of my own stuff? i know in some classes if you turn in the same thing twice its considered plagiarism
