Helpful site for writing your Personal Statement

Top-Law-Schools.com has some great resources for those applying to law school, but their Personal Statement page (http://www.top-law-schools.com/statement.html) is especially useful. It identifies some ideas to think about before you begin, suggests some ways to do your revisions, and - perhaps most helpful of all - it provides some examples of successful and unsuccessful statements. Not only does it provide the examples, but it offers critiques and praise of the elements that worked and didn't work with each. This is a great place to start for anyone who who is even thinking about writing Personal Statements - for any application, not just law school. For law school, in particular, the Personal Statement is one of the most important aspects of the application, because it is the only place where you get to demonstrate your voice, how you think, and what you have done/want to do. It's worth spending a long time writing, revising, and re-writing (sometimes from scratch), and resources like this sight are especially helpful.
