Sorry! I had assumed no one was interested. I'll PM you, if that's okay?

Too brief. At least use five stars so that the law school in question can feel appreciated. On the positive side, there are no run-on sentences.

Thanks for your comments; it hurts, but I think you're right - I need to expand to include the other three stars. I was worried that it might come across as over-enthusiastic were I to send each law school five stars, but I recognize that admissions staff could feel underwhelmed if they receive anything less. At least it would insure against yield protection.

What do you guys think about adding a short paragraph addressing 'Why X law school'? I don't want it to appear too tacked-on - there's nothing in five consecutive asterisks that naturally entails it - but doesn't '*****' by itself just seem a bit impersonal for a personal statement?
