Personal Statement
The University of North Texas (UNT) Dallas College of Law's location, in the heart of Dallas, and its accessibility from Waxahachie is a major draw for my selection of this specific school. In addition, I’m drawn to the diverse student population that the school targets in their recruitment efforts and the innovative manner in which the school aims to educate its students through hands-on education and not just lectures. My desire upon graduating from Law School is to return to Ellis County, where I spent my youth, to continue the law practice, with my parents, for the goal of marrying my law services with my drive and passion for giving back to the community. By continuing to provide affordable legal services to the residents …show more content…

Learning by doing: this philosophy and education method is applicable to so many areas. I personally use it when teaching my Cub Scout fifth graders. Unlike their daily lessons in class where they are instructed, and demonstrated lessons only to then go off on their own to apply what they've just learned, I work to let each of the kids engage in hands-on learning so that they take some ownership and gain experience in what they are being taught. This methodology is one of the fundamental reasons I have chosen to apply to UNT Dallas College of Law. Practical knowledge and experience go a long way when it comes to understanding a career in law. Too many times, students are educated and pushed out into the marketplace without any true skills or practical knowledge and experience. Through UNT's innovative approach, I know I will gain what so many others are not …show more content…

This became more profound to me while I was assisting with reestablishment my parents' law office, after a fire in 2011, and filling in when needed as staff were out over the past several years. Continuously, I had experiences with members of the community that were in need of legal advice and services but did not seek them due to the great expense. It is this conundrum that led to further reflection, discussion, and possible solution forming, birthing the concept of creating another form of compensation/reimbursement for legal services.. As legal service fees continue to go up, I feel it is the responsibility of those serving the community to come up with innovative ways to provide services to those in need with a just manner for compensation and pro bono

I plan to contribute as an active participant within the Living Learning program by attending study groups and help other with my finding/ recommendations. As a Regents’ scholar, I plan to exhibit the values and friendliness of a great community member. I will be actively involved in events and programs geared towards the community goal. I expect to interact with my fellow students daily, and bring the attitude and character of what Texas A&M stands for. I will participate in as many events as my schedule will allow to create a better sense of community and maybe find a life long friend.

Throughout the course of my study, I have developed a strong interest in biotechnology and the health industry; it is thus my hope to pursue a legal education that will enable me to participate in and even bring changes to their regulatory systems. UVA attracts me with its strong health law program. I especially appreciate the extensive collaboration between UVA Law and the other medical institutions of the university. As stated in my personal statement, one of my main motives to delve into legal study after obtaining a degree in science is to explore the power of law as a social factor that exploits the potentiality of science to benefit more people; such an interdisciplinary approach that UVA Law takes is no doubt the best way to understand

Alan gave me a realistic perspective of what someone who wants this career can expect. He also showed me that all the doubts I had in my head can be overcomed. Alan said “the one value I still carry with me today is diligence”, as long as you stay optimistic and work hard you can be successful. He proved that no matter what your background is or your financial stance is, you can work through it. Alan is the Law student people don't learn about, he is not the prime example Columbia Law School uses on the cover of their Admissions page, but he is exactly the person people need to hear about to learn that anyone can do it.

When I think of theology, I instantly want to break the word down. I have a science background and understand unfamiliar words by looking at their parts. For me, theology is theo- or God and -ology or the study of. From this, I understand theology to be the study of God. Studying God is most familiar to me as something that members of the historical clergy had the freedom to indulge in all the time.

Dear Admissions Committee, Thank you for your continued consideration of my application for the Texas Law Class of 2027. I am currently on the waitlist and would like to enthusiastically express my continued desire to attend. As a proud Texas Ex who majored in the College of Liberal Arts, the law school’s significance was always tangible—professionally and academically. Working as a file clerk and paralegal at an Austin firm, I witnessed the intelligence, compassion, and legal prowess with which the Texas law-educated attorneys I interacted with practiced law. Academically, my education at UT Austin allowed me access to law school at every turn.

I am very excited to apply to Full Sail University. Ever since I was little girl there have always been two careers that have sparked my interest and that I’ve wanted to pursue. The first career is Computer Technician, which my Uncle inspired me to play around with computes. He was who taught me a thing or two about computers. He really enjoyed what he does for a living.

The majority of my life has been spent placing critical life events and accomplishments onto a timeline. For instance, it has been twenty-one years since I first wrapped my teddy bears in bandages and diagnosed their illnesses. It has been eleven years since I decided to become a nurse. It has been seven years since I was first admitted to Texas A&M University and struggled with the pressures of doing well in college while balancing a personal and family life. It has been almost three years since I last stepped foot on Texas A&M soil.

Texas Tech is part of my culture. The Rawls College of Business not only gave me the opportunity to study abroad as an undergrad, but it gave me the all the right tools to land the great career opportunity that I have now. It taught me the quantitative and analytical training to be successful in the workforce, but unless I have the ability to lead and mange others will I truly add more value, to any company, than through my individual talent as contributor. This program is a good fit for me because I’m still considered a young professional in my career, and it’s a perfect blend to attend class on campus once a month and manage my career with such a deadline-driven world. Being part of this program would be an elite membership to a learning

In my first year at Texas Tech I was put on the frontier of scientific knowledge in order to contribute to humanity’s understanding of the universe. Since the ancient egyptians, research in science and mathematics has allowed humans to go from cave dwelling hunters to the first living organism to arrive on the moon’s surface. Due to my performance in my physics class, my professor has given me the opportunity to take the first step in my journey of becoming a theoretical physicist. That being starting research in solid-state physics. Research is incredibly important to every single person on this planet whether they are aware of it or not.

Other than the fact that UC Berkeley Law is known as one of the top ten law schools in the United States, what truly gravitates me towards Berkeley law is the school’s de-emphasis on a traditional system of learning: refraining from assigning traditional letter grades, calculating GPAs, or assigning numerical rankings, and instead adding emphasis on participation in student-initiated projects, journals, and organizations. As is evident by my resume and the extra curricular activities I have partaken in the past years at NYU Stern, participation in projects outside of the classroom is something that is crucial for my own satisfaction from what a law school can offer me. Law school only teaches one how to think like a lawyer, while internships,

Whenever I first began my law school search, SMU Dedman School of Law first caught my eye because of its academic reputation. Not only is it a well ranked school, but it has the resources and staff that will ensure my success as a lawyer. This is evident in the post-graduation employment statistics. There are many law schools that have high rankings but lack the high percent of graduates employed. This was especially important in my decision to apply to this law school.
