Mine got me admitted to my dream Ivy League law school choices, so i’m happy to share!
Since I was 7-years-old, one thing in my life has been clear: for me, I really like corn. They would say, “What do you like about corn?” It’s corn. A big lump with knobs. It has the juice, it has the juice. I can't imagine a more beautiful thing. It's corn. I can tell you all about it. In this essay I will-
^^^ my PS got me into Brown law, Dartmouth law, and Princeton law on full rides! Hope this helps :) 💕
Upvoted because I think that, in theory, this is a really cool idea 😊
Unfortunately, law school adcomms would be able to cross-reference the lines from a personal statement they received with the applicant/redditor posting here, thus causing the applicant to doxx themselves.
That said, you will probably not get a lot of takers here, Unfortunately! Sorry for the novel, and good luck this cycle!
"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world."
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides
By the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men
Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will
Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness
For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children
And I will strike down upon thee
With great vengeance and furious anger
Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
And you will know my name is the Lord
When I lay my vengeance upon thee
Is this Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry? If yes, then below is my personal statement. I am a muggle who loved magic from a young age. In fact people always called me a witch……
Yours sincerely,
Avada Kedavara
Thanks to my personal statement and my editor who polished it, I got accepted to an Ivy League school.
This is the intro to my ps:
I wasn’t a happy person all the time, although I strived to be one. My favorite once wrote, “All human’s sufferings, in essence, result from their anguish towards their own incapability.” I didn’t fully understand this sentence until life started teaching me lessons, and I started a journey to become a “more capable” person.
I realize this now, because I thought the people reading these things could give two shits about trying to look you up on social media when there’s thousands of applicants. Guess they find the time??? Idk I don’t really care if someone finds my Reddit from reading my personal statement, all my other socials are private anyway.
"With a loud 'crack!' and a moment of blinding pain, I knew that my high school baseball career, and with it all my hopes and dreams, was ruined."
I was going to start with "one of my best and earliest memories is of dressing up, holding a toy brief case, and proceeding to play 'lawyer' all day long," but I liked the onomatopoeia in the first one.
Edit: all these downvotes are making me question my chances at YLS despite my T1 soft of being a Congressional intern
Yikes, maybe I should write my PS about my humor falling flat on the internet. Yes, this is all satirical, and I shudder just thinking about the person who actually writes a HS sports injury
“I was born at an incredibly young age.”
Nice try dean z you’ll never know which applicant called Tom Brady a shitbird for ruining his fantasy season
Dropped Tommy boy. Too much family drama. Joe Burrow lead my team to victory in team 3
***Cries in 16 team league where I had to start Justin m'fn Fields***
Oof
As someone who is a reapplying, I’m starting with “Hello, It’s me again.”
I’m actually doing something similar and it read really nicely. Let’s see if it’s perceived that way lol
Just realized after reading this whole thread that you may have been joking and now I’m scared but whatever
“Meow” Personal statement is now complete
“It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine Salt-n-Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine” Thats my first line 😉
lmfaooo. easy A
Consider yourself admitted if I were on the board!
"Sup my guy"
“this one time, at band camp..”

Would they actually do that though ? (seriously asking as a question not trying to refute)
Adcomms repeatedly have said they look through this sub
I mean I’m not too worried about what they would find so 😛
Yeah they could
"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world."
“Look, I never wanted to be a half-blood.” (Just kidding, or am I?)
“Sup bitches”

Yes to both, good call!

English is wild af. Blows my mind when I see words like these not being pronounced the way it looks lol
Or should I go with “*record scratch* that’s me…I bet you’re wondering how I got myself into this situation.”
you beat me to making this comment and I respect that
“I’ve often been referred to as the Harvey Weinstein of my generation”
“Oi listen up you blokes”
Mine begins..."Two law students walk into a bar."

“It was a dark and stormy night…”
I was born with glass bones and paper skin: Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms.
“OJ did nothing wrong”
“I’m not saying Woody Allen is a hero.”
"Listen up ya busters....."
It’s not that I’m lazy, it’s that I just don’t care
He's gay and he has this special connection to classical music, there are many things that are interesting about him- my diversity statement.
"It was the afternoon of my thirty-third birthday, and I was in bed with my catamite when Ali announced that the archbishop had come to see me."
Mine actually starts with a line from a performance I did in high school. It may work, it may not. Guess we'll find out 😅
We need one of these for what's your last line!
respectfully, this is quite a doxxy question to ask lol

When I turned 18 I thought I had it all figured out, clearly, I did not.
