Today, Sydney goes over how to structure your diversity statement and set it apart from your personal statement. Through her own diversity statement and other examples, Sydney will go step by step on how to brainstorm and make that diversity statement a beautiful addition to your law school application. 

Episode Highlights

• Your personal statement should be more tied into your why law focus, statement, or focus thesis. The reason for going to law school, the area of law, the people that you wanna impact, the stories that led you there, the development of that passion, but there may be other things that are so important to you.

• A basic structure of a diversity statement could be starting off with a story that kind of names, claims your diversity. Doesn't have to be socioeconomics, race, gender, or culture. It could be something completely different. And then you might have another story that complicates or further shows how that diversity really affected you or made you think differently of the original thing that you claimed.

• A diversity statement should have layers. Lead the story into a takeaway of how it has shaped you
