Personal Statement: Too Whiny?

Submitted Question:


I’ve shown my personal statement to as many people as would read it. Most of the reviews have been positive but many of the readers say that it comes off as whiny, should I worry about this?

One of the biggest missteps most law school applicants make is turning their personal statement into a giant sob story. Admissions committees are far more interested in reading about you overcoming your obstacles than you wallowing in them. It sounds like you should slightly alter the focus of your personal statement to better frame your accomplishments.
