Changing course for personal statement

Hi everyone, I had written and basically finished my personal statement for Law however have just decided to switch my degree to History and International Relations

My law personal statement consists of this:

1st paragraph: What about law I find interesting specifically and talked briefly about the country I’m from and how it’s legal system relates to why I’m interested

2nd paragraph: I talk about Bingham’s Rule of Law and how I’m surprised how often international law has been disregarded

3rd paragraph: Courses Ive done: 2 law courses, mock trials, MUN, 2 law internships - how they correspond to my interest

4th paragraph: my a levels and epq

Since I have to rewrite it now, what do you think would be a good idea to keep and what not to..

Thank you!

do you still want to be a lawyer?
Hello,

It may be helpful to look at the pages for the unis you're applying to, to see what they want to see. For example, here's York's personal statement page..

Good luck whichever course and uni you go to 🙂
