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

jackfrost11770

13:56

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

GodsPlanUltimately

13:59

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

Anyone think Davis will o an R wave tomorrow?

Skydog1969

14:01

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

14:02

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

14:02

Skydog1969

14:02

HopefullyInLawSchool

14:02

TurboSplitter

14:02

Skydog1969

14:03

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

HopefullyInLawSchool

@Skydog1969: They might be only releasing results for YM right now

Skydog1969

14:03

could just be that you are not an automatic yes or no, but maybe they want to look at your app more. Don't lose hope

DesertedImportantMammoth

14:04

Skydog1969

14:04

true that could be it

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

14:04

@Skydog1969: yeah, I am not a California resident so I technically have no reason to be applying there

HopefullyInLawSchool

14:04

im a resident so for me even scarier

Skydog1969

14:05

@WorthlessAttractiveZombie: My legal address says I am from NJ but I live in CA.

Skydog1969

14:06
