Keep or Cut: questions
- What makes a weak line in a law school personal statement?
- Most weak lines fall into 6 traps: a cliché, a repeat of the resume, a trait claimed with no moment behind it, a vague claim, a humblebrag, or a plain idea in swollen words. Keep or Cut drills all 6.
- How do you play Keep or Cut?
- One line from a made-up personal statement slides across the desk. Press and hold the red pen on it until the ink covers the line to cut it, or tap it to keep it, before the sheet slides off. After a miss, a sticky note names the trap.
- Will this help me edit my own personal statement?
- Yes. The end screen turns the traps you fell for into a checklist, with a one-line fix for each. Run your own draft past it, line by line.
- Are the essay lines from real applicants?
- No. Every line was written for the game. None of them come from a real applicant's essay.
- Is Keep or Cut free?
- Yes. It's free and it runs in your browser, on a phone or a laptop. The Daily set is the same for everyone that day.
