Writing a personal statement is an important part of applying for law school. Most law schools have many applicants to choose from; your best bet of getting in is an application that sets you apart from all the others. If your grades and LSAT scores are not spectacular enough to do this, you will need to rely on your personal statement to draw the distinction.

Of course, this means that for most people, there is a lot riding on their personal statement. Here are some tips for writing a personal statement that will get you into law school.

For example, if the admissions board asks why you want to attend their school, your personal statement will need to fully answer that question.
  2. Demonstrates why you will be a good lawyer. The admissions board doesn’t want to admit students who lack the ability to perform well at their school or in the field.
