A quick definition of ancient fact:

Ancient fact is something that happened a very long time ago, and no one alive today saw it happen. A fact is something that is true and real, like the fact that all people will eventually die. There are different types of facts, like a fact that helps a court or agency make a decision, or a fact that is important to a legal case. Some facts give people rights, while others take away rights. It's important to tell the truth and not make up fake facts, which is called a lie.

A more thorough explanation:

An ancient fact is a fact about a person, thing, or event that existed or occurred a very long time ago, and about which no living person has firsthand knowledge.

  • The existence of dinosaurs is an ancient fact because they lived millions of years ago and no human has ever seen one.
  • The construction of the pyramids in Egypt is an ancient fact because it happened thousands of years ago and no one alive today was there to witness it.

These examples illustrate that ancient facts are events or things that happened a long time ago and are not known through direct experience or observation.

Tell us what's important to you
so eg i didn't do a separate DS for most schools because i talk about my identity and life experiences and shit in my personal statement so it would've been redundant
for schools that have specific prompts like duke i did them
Yeah because I mean I could talk about my religious background but I feel like it may just fall flat since I've done two options on personal experience and I dont' have any other work experience that relates to it. I just don't want it to harm me that I didn't tell them as much about my self as I could with all the statements but I'm just not sure it'll sound authentic -- even if I am passionate about my faith. So I'm heavily leaning to skip it.
i think if you only briefly mention it in your personal statement and you really talk about things like how it influences your woldview for example or how it shapes your future plans and why you want to go into law (if that's not something you talk about in your PS) that's a very solid DS
That's true. I think I should a least write a draft then to see how I feel about it. :3
if it adds to who you are as a person and why you're motivated to purse things then it's something that is valuable for adcomms to know and it comes off as genuine because it is
Honestly I wouldn't stress too hard about essays. Most essays exist purely to determine whether or not you can write, so unless you're the 1% who writes the greatest essay they've ever seen, or the 1% who writes the worst essay they've ever seen, it is not going to be the deciding factor except in the most niche of tiebreaker scenarios.
Okay!
Which is not to say you shouldn't put effort into them and make them as strong as possible, but don't let it keep you up at night is basically what I'm getting at
