This goes out to all those who were fortunate enough to get accepted into law school, I have a question for you. I am an undergraduate student, as some of you might know from my past messages. I am waiting a year to apply to law school and I just wanted to know how long it took you guys to write your personal statement? I have heard that this part of the application can make or break your admission and also that most schools won't even look at it if you don't have their LSAT/GPA mean. Please post your opinion. I know this is just a free board and in no way represents a law school advisor, but I would just like some opinions/information coming directly from the source.
Thanks!!! |

why would a school only look at your essay if you had their mean lsat and gpa? The definition of mean is the AVERAGE of all scores, thus some will be higher, and some will be lower. Bottom line - someone will read your essay no matter what (even if it is just a glance). But the gpa and lsat matter above all else, the PS most likely will do very little to enhance your chances - it can only hurt you chances.
