Application conundum
« on: July 31, 2010, 08:06:21 PM »
I was having a discussion with a coworker.  He is currently studying for the October LSAT.  He has lived a interesting life to put it mildly.  He used to be a little crazy.  He is planning on writing his PS on his past and how he is now a better person.  I believe this will place a label on him that he may never shed.  He feels it will help.  Comments?

There is something to be said for overcoming adversity, but I agree that this story might not work for him as well as say overcoming homelessness. It might also suggest to the school that he might have trouble being admitted to the bar. He should focus more on highlighting his achievements IMO.
