should I write one if my personal statement is already about my cultural background? I don't think I need to write one but it doesn't feel right leaving blank a bunch more words that could potentially convice adcomms im the man.
feedback appreciated

Re: diversity statement utility
I had the same question as you and spent some time researching it on this forum. It seems to be the consensus that having a diversity statement in addition to your PS is best; however, not if you are simply going to rehash the same thing.
Is there another facet from which you can address your diversity from? I'm assuming you are a URM.
