[QUOTE="billyonthespeeddial, post: 216021, member: 27428"] Find a topic that you genuinely find interesting. It actually doesn't matter what it is, they're not lying! Don't try to impress with the complexity of your topic. Have two paragraphs, one should cover "introduce us to a topic you know about". Second should cover "why it interests you". According to grad rec team themselves, so many candidates completely miss that it's a two part question. Use simple and clear sentences. Each grad rec member is reading hundreds of applications. You want them to really understand what you're saying despite this. It'd be good, however, if you knew more about this topic than the average person/lawyer. When reading your first paragraph, the grad rec member should probably be learning something new. [/QUOTE]
