Diversity statement about being from rural Mississippi?

Post by Orpheus » Fri Jun 15, 2018 5:50 pm

I tried writing about being from rural Mississippi in my PS but couldn't incorporate it since I'm writing about a more impactful event in my life that pushes me towards law school. Was wondering if writing about growing up in the Mississippi Delta as a Chinese American would be decent enough for a diversity statement. The purpose of the DS would show my regional and racial diversity (ofc I know Asian is not URM but I just thought combined with being from the Deep South would be something)

I hope to apply to a Cali school like UCLA or Berkeley since I want to move and practice there for a while.

Sorry if this is off-topic; I can remove.
