Greetings! As y'll know, I am applying to YLS this cycle. I need your halp! I need to write the YLS 250 essay, but don't know where to start. This thread is intended for AutoAdmit posters—some of the most creative people I know—to get the juices flowing, so that I can submit the YLS 250 essay before January. Information about the YLS 250 essay can be found here: http://blogs.law.yale.edu/blogs/admissions/archive/2008/01/23/the-250-word-albatross.aspx

Thank

But the samples also tell something about the readers. "I had one essay that said how awful Twilight was"--the essay was about damaging themes of female submissiveness in the series--"and I was like, 'Admit her!' " says Melissa Faulner, a 2006 grad on the committee.

Ferguson is too recent. I think many YLS lib applicants will talk about it and how it "influenced them to become a lawyer" so that they can "reform" the injustices in ARE legal system.

Write about literature.

Nick Caraway's doucebaggy and unreliable narration in the Great Gatsby is a good topic, if slightly cliche.

Bonus points: discuss his gay scene in GG.

Tell them you asked your HS English teacher what Humbert Humbert meant when he said he "bayed through the undergrowth of dark decaying forests" with Ms. Haze, and tell them that your HS English teacher showed you.
