Hi all,

Is it ok to elaborate on things that are listed on the resume on to the DS?

Thank you!

    If the elaboration (1) is connected to your background or upbringing and (2) does not involve bland recitations of your duties and accomplishments, then I don't see why not. Otherwise, I'm inclined to say no.

    As long as you did not discuss them in your personal statement, you can put them in your DS.

    As a side note, probably 70-80 percent of applicants should not include a diversity statement. Unless you have a truly diverse background you shouldn't write one. A hacked together diversity statement will be seen as disingenuous.

    @FixedDice Thank you, I appreciate it. The points I wanted to elaborate on are connected to my background and like you suggested I will avoid reciting my accomplishments.

    @Ohnoeshalpme Thank you, I appreciate it. I haven't discussed them in my PS and I understand what you mean in regards to not being seen disingenuous. I will keep that in mind.
