Hello all,
Some schools provide the option to include a diversity statement that describes what unique qualities you will bring to the institution, background etc. My personal statement however is centered on these qualities that I have developed because of my unique background and experiences that have led me to law school. Basically, would it be overkill to include an additional diversity statement? My concern is that if I do, it may seem repetitive, but if I don't, would I look lazy?

A DS is never necessary and often someone exaggerates their DS or points out something relatively obvious from the rest of the application. From the way you are framing your PS, a DS, IMHO, can only detract from your application if it is similariphealth wrote:Hello all,
