10. Top 10 Personal Statement Mistakes

This list, culled from discussions with admissions directors, lists the ten biggest mistakes applicants often make on their law school personal statements. Most of these were discussed above.

1. Spelling and grammatical errors.

2. Sending a personal statement to school B meant for School A. Harvard Law School does not want to read about your desire to attend Yale Law School.

3. Merely summarizing your resume in essay form.

4. Staying too detached in your writing style and not letting your personality come through in your “personal” statement.

5. Focusing upon your weaknesses and not your strengths.

6. Using too many big words or “legalese.”

7. Spending just a few hours on your personal statement and submitting your first draft.

8. Exceeding the specified page or word limitations.

9. Stating that once admitted you will save the world.

10. Using gimmicks such as writing in crayon, modeling your personal statement as a legal brief, or writing it as a poem.
