I can't find the answer to my question no where! Does somebody know if we have to write prompt 1 and prompt 2 separetly or if we can merge both prompts in one single essay as both prompts are bind together. Thanks

This talk clarified something that I've been wondering about. I've always felt that I needed to answer the things I asked. I didn't know we were to choose a topic of our own. ^-^ Thanks.

Wow! A 50-minute video on how to write an essay to get into UC?!

> airrunweskerII said on 02-20-2009 at 21:49:
How long should the essay be?Do law school admissions pick the topic?

> skadforlife said on 01-23-2009 at 08:04:
Well, if you watched the whole video, you would see that they didn't say her essay was that great. They purposely picked an essay that had a few flaws that they could highlight to help you from making the same mistake.Yeah, it was impersonal, and it could have applied to anyone, and they mentioned how this was bad.

I thought my essay was kind of bad because I did it hours before it was due, but after reading that generic ass sample, I guess it wasn't that bad.
