Diversity Statement/Waitlist
I have a question about waitlists. I have sent 2 LOCIs, my former employee is sending a new LOR and I still haven't heard anything back as far as movement. Would it be smart to write a diversity statement? Any help would be really appreciated! Thank all y'all for the help!

Re: Diversity Statement/Waitlist
Maybe it's just me, but sending a 3rd LOCI may come off as overbearing... have you had any significant updates to your resume since the time you applied?southernbrunette wrote:I have a question about waitlists.

Re: Diversity Statement/Waitlist
When did you apply and how have you spaced out the first two LOCIs?
What makes you diverse?

Re: Diversity Statement/Waitlist
My first LOCI I sent about 2 weeks after I got my wait list email, the second about 6 weeks after the first. I haven't had any significant changes since my update on my first LOCI. The second one was more of a why I think I would be a great fit for the school. That's why I'm asking if I should just write a diversity statement and than wait out the next 2 months. What makes me diverse is the fact that I am a first generation college graduate, I grew up hispanic along the border of Mexico, I'm a second generation American, and I served in the military before finishing college in 2 years.

I'm also a waitlisted candidate who didn't submit a diversity statement with one of my original applications. I'm going to submit my DS sometime this weekend, I don't really see why it would hurt you.

Re: Diversity Statement/Waitlist
How exactly are the T14 waitlists working? I thought there was going to be a trickle down effect if other URMs chose to go to T6 schools but it looks like that's not the case at all. I know LSN isn't representative of the whole URM pool but it looks like only a handful of URMs on there got waitlist acceptances anywhere so far.
