***KIND SOULS REQUESTED***

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Jan 20, 2016 7:31 pm

Would any kind soul consider looking at my PS?
It's essentially already finished (so hopefully you should just breeze on through it) and the only thing I needed you to look at is the end.
Basically, to keep a long story short, I'm applying to Houston and SMU and as I was filling out their applications I noticed on U of H's personal statement section it said:

"You may write your personal statement on any subject, but you should include a statement explaining your interest in attending UH Law Center in either your personal statement or an optional statement."

I completely forgot to do this in my earlier drafts (which I had edited on this beautiful forum) so I was curious if someone would glance over my revised version and see if the ending works (or if I should just write another one-page statement). The SMU application said:

"Include a brief paragraph concerning your motivation for applying to SMU Dedman School of Law, including academic reputation, interest in a specific area of study, interest in Dallas, ties to the area or to SMU, and personal reasons such as family, spouse, or significant other moving to, or located in, the area. This statement should be 1 double-spaced page or less."

So my question here was, do I keep it to a paragraph (like that said initially and like I've seen on this forum) or do I write a whole page?

Thanks to ANYONE who offers any kind of advice and if you are applying to these schools then I hope this message finds you before you hit submit!
