Focus all of your efforts on the LSAT! Don’t think about any essays until you are completely done with the LSAT!
Start the essays early. You will probably go through 20 different topic ideas (don’t delete anything when you move onto a new draft/idea - you may be able to draw from your previous drafts). Don’t get discouraged when you go through all of these changes. You will eventually figure it out and you’ll know for sure when you’ve hit the perfect topic!
If you’ve been out of school for a couple years, don’t leave any “gaps” in your personal statement that could leave admissions wondering about how you got to where you are now.
Try not to burn out on the writing. If you’ve hit a block, take a break and come back later.
Have patience! Every step of the process is about patience!

It all pays off in the end when you get those acceptance letters. Work hard and do your best!
