Your statement provides an opportunity for you to tell us about yourself and to share with us some insights into your personality, leadership, character, aspirations, community service, and life experiences that may not be reflected in objective scores. We are interested in a student body with diverse perspectives and backgrounds and seek to select students who are serious about undertaking their legal education and who are committed to the tenets of the legal professional. We particularly encourage you to describe how your personal circumstances (such as your ethnic or racial identity, social, or economic background or gender) and life experiences might bring diverse perspective to our academic community or prepare you for the study of law.

What I am reading off this is the opposite of what most schools want. They are asking for ones 'story', which sounds like the whole "X,Y,Z is who, where, and why"? Most schools don't want narratives like this, but are you reading this prompt the same as me, that they want the narrative?

This sounds like a fairly standard PS prompt to me...I don't interpret that as asking for your whole life story at all. Just inviting you to share whatever pieces you feel are most relevant.

^^ Agreed.

I read PS prompts only to know what the length/font/format restrictions are. Otherwise all PSs are the same. This seems to hold at least for all the T-14s
