The Application Essay
- by Anna Ivey - an excerpt from the book
The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions
- Whether you're submitting a personal statement, a statement of
purpose, or a diversity essay, make sure to follow these rules -
Rule #1: Edit and Proofread, Then Proofread Again Your grammar,
spelling, and punctuation must be flawless. When in
doubt, pullout those old
standbys The Chicago Manual of Style and Strunk & White. If grammar,
spelling, and punctuation aren't your strong points, enlist a friend to
help (and give you a tutorial, while you're at it). There's no excuse
for a college graduate to mess this up. And beware the spell-check trap
-- it won't catch "right" when you should have written "write," and it
won't catch your "commitment to pubic service." (You laugh, but I saw
that typo as a law review editor.) Always have a second pair of eyes
proofread your essays before you send them off.
