LLM Personal Statement Help

Hi all! :)

I'm Nina and I'm a foreign qualified lawyer applying for a couple of LLM programs in London. I think I have a good chance of getting in since I meet all the requirements, but I'm really struggling to write my personal statement.
I've tried so many times but I just end up deleting everything (it is that bad). Where I'm from personal statements just aren't done so I don't know how to word the things I want to say.
I can't seem to find any good LLM personal statement examples online. I was wondering if anyone has gone through the process and could share recommendations/advice or any LLM personal statements that I can read? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much,
Nina.

Hi Nina, I am an international student too and completely understand the struggle with personal statements/cover letters. If you want, I can share with you a copy of my personal statement, which got me offers from UCL, King's College London and Queen Mary.

I completely empathise- LLM personal statements can be hard to draft because you sort of have the freedom to write about anything you want but still need to follow a structure of sorts that hits all the right points. I am linking a post I'd made here which has another post linked within it with a good structure- let me know what you think!

Hi Bibss. Could you please share your personal statement with me as well for reference? It would be super helpful. Thank You :)

I think that later I'll use help of http://essaypapers.reviews/ if I won't write it myself. It's better to get help than miss all the deadlines
Thank you so much,
Nina.
Hello, Nina!
I have the same problem. I've been working on my personal statement for days, but still can't finish it
I'm looking for some examples online, and hope to find something useful.
And I wish you luck!
