should i write diversity statement?

Post by ariel_917 » Fri Nov 14, 2014 4:51 pm

Should I write a diversity statement. I am an African American but would I be hurting myself by not writing a diversity statement?

It's hard to say without other surrounding facts but so far I'd say you should...

Just write one. You'll probably have to write one for 1L diversity SAs anyway, so might as well start thinking about how your background has shaped you, the role of diversity, etc.

If it's redundant with your PS then no. If its not then yes
