|The sound of the other shoe falling.|

For months I have been under the impression that Yale Law does not require a Personal Statement. That it was optional. The application, in fact, says, "Many applicants include the personal statement they have prepared for other law school applications." I thought, "Brilliant!" Of course I was going to supply the optional essay, who wouldn't?

Then today I joined Lawschooldiscussion.org (it was really only a matter of time) and discovered after reading several posts that there is a required essay for Yale. I immediately went back to the application. Not more than a few lines above the optional option is "7. Write an essay of not more than 250 words about a subject of your choice."

How did I miss such a glaring requirement, you wonder? Months ago, when I madly searched through the PDF applications of every school I could fathom wanting to apply to, I "searched" for the words "personal" and "statement."

So now I need a second essay for Yale, on anything I want to write about. That's so many things. I'm tempted to turn a post into an essay, or turn in an essay post, but I feel like that might not be wise.
