"Why X School" essay structure Forum

[ntwg14]

Hi all - I've seen some advice in here on the "Why X School" essays in terms of content (focus on specific classes/profs/journals etc.) However, I am really struggling to make this a coherent essay. Instead it sort of just sounds like word vomit of random facts I've picked up from their website. Anyone have any advice for structuring these essays? Thanks for any feedback

Start with "Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...", put in the word vomit, and end with "... and ntwg14 and Lawschool X lived happily ever after" and you should be good.

On a serious note: I plan to try to pick one overarching theme for these - like, my goal is to do X, and features A, B, and C of your law school would help me achieve X. This will probably mean you can only throw in a selection of random tidbits you plucked from the website, but that is likely to be a good thing, overall.

I'd add saying you'd be happy to attend to explicitly state interest, but I feel like this is self-explanatory. I also had a general theme with the exception of Illinois schools where I added location as a reason.
