I am trying to get a skeleton established for my Diversity essay since most schools ask the question. I would tailor the essay to each school, obviously, but the core of it I am hoping to keep it similar enough. Here's what I am thus far: My upbringing gives me a unique perspective on medicine...

I worked in business before deciding to change careers. When asked "how will you bring diversity to our university," I'd like to talk about my business experience, explaining how I can apply it to medicine and share my knowledge with the student body - all of which I genuinely believe. On the...

I wrote my diversity essay awhile back and I thought it was relatively good, but after reading some of @Goro 's recent advice, e.g. "if you write that you'll get rejected." I panicked and wrote a new one. At first, what I wrote was basically a survey of my unique upbringing and work...
