Basic applicant background: 3.4x ish GPA, 174 LSAT. I'm not an URM (Asian). I'm applying pretty broadly across the T20.
I identify as a lesbian and was raised in a fundamentalist Christian church (volunteered every summer, went every Sat/Sunday til I was about 16?. Participated in anti-gay marriage marches in middle school, lmao.) I've drafted a diversity statement based on that upbringing and growing up in the closet, but I didn't want to focus so much on the trauma (although this is an element, obviously) so much as the fact that I am gay and I still identify as religious, and my exploration of my religious beliefs is this ongoing process. e.g. I worked at an interfaith magazine in college and feel like I've learned a lot about community (and love and junk) from both studying religion and interacting with people of different faiths
IDK if this makes sense. I don't want it to read as "I'm diverse because I'm Christian
