Optional addendum = Diversity Statement?

Lsatistheworst

Hi all,

Most of the schools that I am applying to give the option of a DS which is awesome, because I have not so great stats but a very diverse/unorthodox upbringing. One of the schools that I am applying to (UCLA) doesn't say anything about a DS specifically, but there is an optional addendum section where it says "If there is additional information you would like to include in your application, please attach an addendum" so I was thinking about just uploading the same DS I am writing for all my other schools under this section, so that I can also use the PS that I have written (which has little to do with my upbringing).

Does anyone know if that is frowned upon or anything? I just want to make sure I don't make them roll their eyes at me when they are already looking at subpar stats haha. Thanks in advance!

Haha! sorry about that well from my understanding an addendum is usually meant to explain a weak area in your application regarding your UGPA/LSAT so I don't think a DS would fit in this section. Is this the only chance UCLA gives you to submit a piece of writing besides the PS? If so, then I don't think you should submit the DS for this school as much as that sucks.
