Law School Application Time

Noah, maybe I should of PM'd you this, because I don't want to take away from OP, but this might be useful information. It's related to this statement...


"One other thing they say about personal statements is include anything that may have detracted or contributed to your GPA."

Should you include this? And if you SHOULD, how to you go about doing this? For instance, I attended Ohio State for my first 2 years. Transfered out of there because I was partying to much, not getting school work done, being unhealthy, etc. I transfered back home to live with my parents because I truly did want to work, and get better grades. Obviously I can't be like, I drank way to much so I transfered, and now you can tell my GPA is better, but I also don't want them to think I'm spitting out BS...
(If it's important, my GPA at ohio state was 3.1, now I go to Cincinnati, and its around a 3.7, but I still have around 2 years left)


I want to practice in LA or NY, right now USC and UCLA are on top of my list (if this matters)
