Mentioning that you have children in the PS
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 6:48 pm
So, apparently I have nothing better to do today than play "Things I will linger on, but cannot possibly change," and I came up with a question.
In my PS, which has already been submitted, I discuss the fact that I have a daughter who had developmental delays as a toddler. This was not the sole focus of my PS, and I will not bore anyone with a summary of it, but basically it tied into my work experience and graduate background in special education/developmental therapy.
So, I am now wondering if Admission Powers possibly see applicants (particularly women) with children as risks. In other words, might they consider that having children increases the risk of a law school student doing poorly in school?
Any insight? Theories?
