Diversity statement length
Any advice on how long a diversity statement should be? I know some schools provide guidelines, but a lot of them don't. What's the standard? I'd rather write just one diversity statement that fits all the schools requirements.

Re: Diversity statement length
From what I've heard/seen, best to keep it to a (double-spaced) page in length.christinalsat wrote:Any advice on how long a diversity statement should be?

Re: Diversity statement length
Standard is 1 page. Some have limits, some don't. Off the top of my head:
GW = 300 words
NU = 2 paragraphs
UMich = 1 page

Re: Diversity statement length
A diversity statement should be no more than one page. Your diversity statement is meant to be an additional piece to your application not a supplement. Don't talk about things that you mentioned in your resume or personal statement. I am a 1L and my diversity statement really helped set me apart in the app process.
Remember be diverse; whether your are discussing your hardships or culture, make sure they highlight the unique perspective you will bring to not just a higher education institution, but the legal field itself.
Good luck.
