I was actually alarmed at how easy my 'Why Michigan' essay was. Marketing materials get me so hype.
Aside from the regular distractions of the internet, I don't find it that hard to write a "Why X" essay.
All the examples I've seen tend to hover around the 300-500 word range anyway and that's a pretty easy goal to hit.
For me, it's writing an essay that sounds genuine and not completely feeling-less. The materials from michigan have made it so easy to write. The duke one is just so contrived right now.

Yep.

Hey, I know that I'm late to the party, but would anyone be willing to look at my personal statement? It has been scrutinized and edited heavily already, I'm just having trouble making it as relevant to law school as it should be. If someone would be willing to, please just PM me, and I'll send it over.

Of course I would be willing to help anyone else too. Thanks.

Lol you got lucky

forreal. I'm at a loss for QBs, I almost always take Brady in round 2/3, but doesn't seem like that's the move this year.

Hilde, I sent you a PM. I'm not sure if you received it, because the website states that it is in my outbox rather than my sent. Where I'm from that means that the message is sending, but I don't know for sure what it means on this site.

Here it means if has been sent but not opened.

Welp, now I feel like some old coot that doesn't know how this newfangled technology works. I appreciate the clarification.

Did you get one done, Barley?

Well, I wrote a lot of words, and they are shaped like an essay... does that count?

I'm hoping to get a draft of my "Why Michigan?" essay done today. There are two clinics that Michigan offers that I can tie to personal experiences. I just have to decide which one I can write the better essay on.

Maybe too early for lunch, but I'm currently having second breakfast.

ETA: to be fair, first breakfast was a protein shake.
Just had my oat meal second breakfast. First breakfast was a latte.

Drinks don't count as breakfast, silly.
