Re: Please help with PS/DS!
There is a forum specific to DS I think that may be a better bet. I can read a bit more for structure/writing stuff later, but I think you would be better off getting some advice in that thread. I'd leave this here, but also try there for help.
Applies to PS & DS:
My general suggestion for any creative writing is to try a few drafts. Don't try to hammer a statement out in 2-4 days. You totally can, and you can totally do a good one that way. It just won't be great for ones' abilities nor will it be particularly compelling IMO. I'd say [depending when you wrote this and your PS on here] leave it alone for a few days. Then go back to it, but, before you do, try rewriting the statement. If these are early drafts, don't get too worked up over specific grammar, etc. while you are writing. I mean, still try to write clearly and articulately, but don't worry if there is a comma out of place or something like that.
So, if you just wrote this and the PS, my advice would be as follows...
1] Ignore these for 4-7 days.
2] If something else comes to mind, hash it out. These now go to step [1]
3] Before you reread the statements from [1], rewrite them. Try to hit on similar points, but try to write it as you did when you the idea first came to you.
Basically, it's early on. I'm mainly advocating that you [and anyone else] just gets writing stuff that is meaningful and important to you. Try to frame stuff as it relates to a law school PS and DS, but don't worry about it if it does. In the DS, maybe there is something that happened that bothered you [like the conversation]. Write about it. It's fully possible you will find something that works even better to frame your DS/PS. Also, Cavalier makes a good point from the other thread. Do things like [team name] try outs instead. People here will understand the omission. Also, remember to always retain your style and writing voice when you receive people's edits. Otherwise, it will read like five people wrote it by the end. I think it is important for a PS, but I would imagine moreso for a DS that the lead [first sentence/paragraph] and exit [last sentence/paragraph] should be particularly compelling, evocative, challenging, or in some way memorable.
