Re: PLEASE Critique My Personal Statement!

Hi,
I think this is a good first draft of your personal statement. My advice would be to perhaps have a different eye catching opening. I think the first paragraph didn't necessarily flow well with the second. I read former U Chicago's former law admission officer, Anna Ivey's guide to Law School Admissions book and I def recommend her books. One of her advice on writing the personal statement is to have an eye catching opening and to make your personal statement descriptive throughout. Maybe you could begin describing a painting/art piece that demonstrates the concepts you mention and subtly refer to your accomplishements/passions. I hope this advice helps. Good luck.
