I will be re applying to 3 US law schools (Columbia,NYU and Upenn) this year for the LLM program. I had applied to these law schools last year. Got rejected in 2 of them and was waitlisted in 1(UPENN) till I got ultimatley rejected there too.Besides these 3, I will also be applying to Chicago, Northwest and maybe Cornell for the first time.

What I would like to know is how benefitial these online personal statement review services are ? I would like to re draft my PS and was thinking of getting the same reviewed by one of these services. Also some of these services have a special service for applicants who are ' re- applying' which of course has a very high cost to it.

I dont want to over spend on this and therefore would require all possible inputs from you all.

The popular ones available are Essay Edge, Accepted, Admission Consultants and Princeton. Any of you have had any experience with these or could you recommend me any better services.

Needless to say, I will be preparing the complete first draft of the PS myself based on the decided theme and would be just sending it for a review and for the required changes.

Thanks.
