Another attorney/parent here, not bored and absolutely no dog in the Harvard v. Yale v. Stanford fight, although I might agree about the whole Ivy League fetish.

Anyway, bluntly, needs lots of work. Beyond needing lots of editing and polishing, I found it too long and in particular melodramatic, e.g. your tears falling on the page. Certainly, try to show who you are and how or why (succinctly), but foremost, show them why you want to be a good lawyer, and what you will do with your education and the privilege of being a professional.
