Top Law Schools

Thank you all! You're feedback has been amazing and the next draft will hopefully knock your socks off. Or just impress you. Either would be fine with me.

Thank you! The general idea was to relay how much work I put into learning about things that I am genuinely interested in (thus politics and law). I'll work on establishing a better link!

I agree with Urbanist that it sounds like you're applying for an MPP or something along those lines, rather than for law school. I also wonder if writing a personal statement that basically says "I work hard" is a bit bland. I'm certainly no expert, but it seems like a safe statement that won't hurt you, but I also can't see it helping you that much either.

With that said, I think it's quite well-written, and you do a good job of showing rather than telling!

Small grammar thing - it should be "capitol" building, not "capital".

Good luck!

A great improvement over the last draft. I'd listen to the above advice, but having read the first draft I just wanted to let you know your work paid off with a stronger story and message.
