First post but I am a longtime lurker. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am trying to decide between two “diversity” essays. I have two already written but one seems to be more of a what have you overcome and I don’t know if that is more important for diversity when a school only asks what makes you unique. The two options are
1. I’m in the military (at a military academy) which means that I have gone through basic training etc. and when I graduate medical school I will be a military doctor.
2. I grew up relative poor. I was on social security and Medicare for a while, helped my parents where I could etc. (I didn’t claim adverse status on primary)
What would y’all suggest I write about when the school asks me what I bring?
Thank you in advance!!!
