Personal Statement topic

[kwabbel]

I am more frustrated with the PS than I was when I was studying for the LSAT.. my LOR's are almost all in, same with my transcripts.. but I still have nothing to write about for my PS.. It's the one thing holding me back from submitting my applications. Can someone give me some not so generic advise about what to write about? I have been thinking about this since Sept 28th and every idea I come up with just seems wrong.. I've been posting rough drafts of potential topics on TLS and they just get torn to pieces every time so I'm starting to get defeated.

Good morning, kwabbel!

Thank you for your post! It sounds like you're almost ready to submit your applications~ that's exciting!

I would like to send you a resource that will help you with constructing a great personal statement. I understand that you may view this as a "generic" response, but it is important for you to do the brainstorming. Please watch this seminar and let us know how you feel once you've looked at it from a different perspective. Take some time to write down possible topics and feel free to spit-ball ideas here so we can give feedback!

Personal Statement Seminar-- this is a seminar that was dedicated to just the personal statement; it's an hour and a half in length!

Please let us know if you have any questions!

Best of luck to you!
