personal statement and reapplying Forum

[fmb2016]

Last year I applied to several schools, and was either accepted or waitlisted at all of them. Instead of going, I ended up accepting a job at a legal services office to gain some additional law experience. I'm in the process of applying again for this year, and as of now, I've made revisions to my personal statement to reflect my experiences over the previous year, but kept the structure and content similar. While I believe that the revisions to my personal statement actually strengthened it, my question is, will I be docked at all by any of the schools that I applied to for not submitting a completely new personal statement, or do you think that my acceptances will run generally similar to last year?

Thanks!

Similar, if not better.

Depends more upon whether applications to those schools are up or down in both quantity & quality.
