Let’s Get Personal

Sure, the LSAT is tough, but the real torture comes after your
test, when you’re forced to distill everything interesting,
unique, and extraordinary about yourself into a single essay.
Yes, the dreaded personal statement.


With no guidance other than a vague prompt, you must convince
complete strangers you’re a perfect fit for their law school.
Never fear, Jelena & Branden are here to help . . . and so
are two brave LSATMax students who shared their actual personal
statement drafts to be critiqued on the pod!


Listen and discover:
How to make a great first impression with the very first
sentence of your personal statement What law schools are looking
for in students . . . and how you can show them you fit their
criteria How to write an exciting personal statement, even if you
feel like your life is boring Common mistakes law school hopefuls
make in their personal statements Why specificity is the superpower
that will make your statement stand out What you should never say
in a law school personal statement And more!
