LLM - Personal Statement

[AvniD]

My LSE personal statement took the most work out of all of my applications and was the longest too- about 1050 words. I stuck to a structure that was very similar to the one in this really useful post but elaborated on each point by including more about my background and motivations. So for example, in the 'why LSE paragraphs' I spoke about the specific courses I liked within the LLM and why I liked them, the topics I'd be interested in doing my dissertation in (and why) and the academics/supervisors I would like to work with for the same. Doing this ensured I wasn't simply repeating my CV but building on with reasoning and grounded motivation.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions 😇

I'd be happy to share mine with you as well! I've written two statements, one for LSE and one for UCL - drop me a message.

I would love to have a look at your statement if you do not mind sharing it with me

Hi erica! I hope you have a nice day. I am an international student who plans to apply for my LLM at UCL and any other law schools in UK but at this moment I am still struggling to write my personal statement. If you wouldn't mind, can you share your personal statement? Thank you for your kindness, Ericaa!!!🥹

Hey Karin,
I'm also writing my statement at the moment and can't get any further and I'm not sure whether I'm really convincing. I would be very grateful if you could share the document with me. Thanks!!

Hi! I am an internationally trained lawyer currently applying to LLM programs in London. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to share a copy of your Personal Statement. I am personally struggling to articulate my thoughts and structure my writing, and it would be a great help to see how to formulate a strong Personal Statement.
