In Reply To: The title says it all. Admissions are based almost solely on numbers. Only personal statements of marginal candidate may be scrutinized. It took me an hour or hour and a half, tops, to write a really short personal statement. One page. That's it. With so many applications, if officers even get a chance to glance at your P.S., it'd better make a point -- quickly. As for the source of your information, I am a practicing BIGLAW litigation associate who graduated from Georgetown Law. I was also accepted at Duke, Cornell, Northwestern, UCLA, and USC. Take my opinion as you will.
Message: You don't need to tell me, but some of your schools I am thinking about applying to so if you could share you stats with me, I would appreciate it. Also, do you like BIGLAW?
