Choosing the Right Topic for Your Law School Personal Statement

Picking a personal statement topic is often where applicants get stuck first, and it's rarely because they lack material. Keatrice Robertson will walk through how to sort through your own experiences, spot which ones actually reveal judgment or resilience rather than just achievement, and avoid the common trap of retelling your resume in paragraph form. Keatrice went through this process herself as a non-traditional JD/MBA applicant, and now works with candidates figuring out how to make their story specific instead of generic. She'll share how she thinks about narrowing a topic down to one that holds together, and there will be room to ask about your own draft or approach.
