Hm, mine only goes to .xx on my official. That's strange. You would think that they would use the normal rounding down # 4.

What do people think about referencing other graduate schools at that university in a "why x?" I've come around and decided to write a why Harvard, and HKS has some dope resources.

Are you planning to do a dual degree or just interested in taking a few courses?

No idea. Harvard encourages students to take classes in other schools and up to 12 credits can be counted towards the JD in the event I don't.

So, who else is writing a diversity statement? Mine feels really weak, and since I'm a non-URM minority I don't know if it's worth submitting....

I'm a white protestant male who's family in the U.S goes back to the 17th century. I know they say anyone can write a diversity statement, but I'd feel like a terrible/out of touch person if I attempted one.

Oddly enough, I feel like you could totally write one about being a conservative when you apply to all those Yankee schools you like so much. Pretty sure schools value diversity along the political spectrum, too.

I think the potential cost outweighs the potential gain.

Anyone willing to read mine and let me know if they think it would add to my application? I feel like I do an okay job of saying "hey look I'm diverse," but I just don't have enough space to say how it'll contribute to the law school... And it's probably too long as it is, meh.
