UCLA Programmatic Contribution Question

Anyone else trying to figure out what to write for this?

My gut instinct is to write about my current job since I'm 1 year out of undergrad & it relates directly to the type of law I want to practice. However, my personal statement is about an experience with my job and I don't want to keep beating a dead horse.

Would love to discuss the topic with others who are considering this essay as well!

I started typing one up based on my accounting major and what not. After re-reading it sounded to forced to me so I just checked the "This section does not apply to me" box.

Hope it doesn't hurt my chances too bad.

I also thought mine would sound awkward and forced so I didn't write one. I was admitted last week. Don't worry.

I am trying to write mine as well as I have relevant experience in entertainment law but I'm having trouble as I'm not sure if they are looking for a narrative or more of a list of what you have done thats relevant. How are you approaching yours?
