Diversity Statement Question

Kaylee H

My personal statement covers a situation in my background that has influenced my decision to attend law school. Should I write a diversity statement on this as well even if it’s already covered in my personal statement? Has anyone dealt with this?

If it's already covered in your personal statement then don't use it in your diversity statement to avoid being redundant. If you have another option for your diversity statement that would be much better.

Thanks for your input. That’s what I was concerned about. I wasn’t sure if putting a different spin on the situation (why I want to go to law school for PS vs how it adds to the diversity of the campus as a DS) would be too redundant.
