The applicant's personal/motivational statement should not be a last-minute thought. It is the moment to separate from everyone else with similar scores, grades, and undergrad degrees. And in fact, many law schools use the personal statement to learn more about the person. The applicant needs to research EACH law school's mission, values, and other characteristics important to the law school. Then, describe how those characteristics apply to the candidate in the personal statement. Reading a brief Wikipedia article about law school is not research.
I can't emphasize enough how important the motivation and personal statements are with law school applications. You could easily spend months preparing the motivation and personal statements. Many potential law applicants just focus on the GPA and just a GPA might get you into a unranked law school but if you have any dream/desire/motivation to attend a T-14 law school, than focus on the full package.
Has anyone on the forum done something similar to this?
Also I have no responsibilities outside of work, and my dad's fine with me quitting to pursue school, so theoretically I could give 10+ hours a day for this
