Diversity statement?

I don't feel so good about my diversity statement though I did make an effort. Everywhere i'm reading I see it's encouraged to write a diversity statement, especially for me since I'm of a different culture. I guess my question is can you still get in with just a personal statement or do most people make the effort to add to their application package even if it's not such a great diversity statement

    The diversity statement is a soft plus factor, and a way to show schools that you are an under represented minority with a unique social and cultural background. It definitely has the ability to help and as long as it's not poorly written it can't hurt you either. To give it the boost that it needs, I'd recommend getting it edited by an hourly admissions consultant.

    oy your comment is really helpful and now I'm conflicted :D someone suggested that a so-so diversity statement can hurt you even if you have a good personal statement so better to not include it

    You might look into getting a consultation from Spivey or the 7sage people. They will be able to tell you more about this.
