Hello all! Just wanted to ask a quick question on how to write a perspective/diversity statement when my personal statement already integrates my cultural background? I'm having trouble finding something that will serve as an equally impactful statement about what I will bring to the school, but also won't be repeating anything that I already said in my personal.
Thanks!

You're in good company with this question! I gave my two cents on this same topic on another post from a few days ago. I think the same advice applies here!
The "tl;dr" version is that the purpose of a statement of perspective is to let me know where you come from, the forces that have shaped you, what makes you tick, etc. While there may be a clear #1 topic, the reality is that we're all pretty complex people. So if you really cover that #1 topic in your PS because it's so closely intertwined with why you want to go to law school, that's alright! Just go with another topic that helps explain you.
This is really helpful, thank you so much!
