Is this a reasonable secondary "Diversity" response?

Did you not watch inception? When you get want to give them an idea, make sure to make them feel like they thought of it. Mention family dynamic and health issue like minor thing. Let them consider the issue as major

I think this is an interesting idea, your tripletness is definitely memorable. Did you already talk about these topics elsewhere on your application? I am not sure how you want to weave in the heath complications...you want the essay to stay about you. Maybe you can talk about how your experiences will help you better notice and appreciate the effect of family dynamics on patient care?

I am no expert. But this does sound like it has potential. I do think it is a unique thing you can add to the class IF you can show how your experiences led to some great qualities and strengths. Maybe interpersonal skills, communication, empathy... You could probably go anywhere with this depending on the specific experiences.

And relate how this manifests as a contribution to the class as a whole.

Definitely something cool -- Memorable, so long as it's not for negative reasons, is a big plus.

Curious if you're monozygotic or not, and differences/similarities possibly related to that -- Could be of interest to AdComs as well.

You also should become leonardo dicaprio if you want to win the lady adcoms hearts 😛. Also, write a diversity statement within a diversity statement so you can diversity statement while you diversity statement.

In looking through past application questions, I noticed how prevalent the "What makes you different and how will your diversity contribute to this class?" question is. I've been thinking of possible answers to this and one thing stands out to me. I wanted feedback on it to see if it is a viable direction.

I am thinking about writing about growing up as a triplet and discussing how things such as the associated health complications of my siblings and the overall effect on my family dynamic has shaped what I can provide to a class. Do you think that is a reasonable choice or should I scrap the idea and try to think of something else? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Yes, but really show and not tell. Think of unique experiences that that experienced provided and how you can apply it to the class and school's community.

The only place where it could be extrapolated from is sibling information so that is doubtful. The health complications are definitely something small that I would use as an introduction to what you suggest focusing on. Thank you for the advice!


I'm not sure I fully follow what you are suggesting. Could you clarify?

Don't argue primarily that you can contribute diversity for those reasons you mentioned. You gotta tell them about the actions or initiative you took which serve as how diverse you are. You gotta make adcom to think that you can contribute to diversity. Don't tell them you can contribute diversity because of those environment
