Personal Statement vs. Optional Essays: What Goes Where [6/18/2026] (Recording)

After this session, you will know exactly how to divide your narrative across the personal statement and optional essays without repeating yourself or leaving gaps. We will cover how to identify which experiences belong in each space, how to use the optional essay strategically rather than defensively, and how to recognize when leaving an optional essay blank is the stronger choice. Attending live means you can bring your specific situation, whether you have a GPA explanation to navigate or a nontraditional background to frame, and hear how those decisions get made in real time. This coach works with law school applicants daily and will be sharing the same judgment they apply when reviewing and rebuilding application narratives with their own clients.
