[Personal History Statement vs Diversity Fellowship response (UC Davis)]

I have been awarded a diversity fellowship at one program and nominated for one at another. I focused on my research-education and training, how my research interests came about, and "fit" for the program-for the SOP, and made my diversity/personal statement about my experiences pertinent to the fellowship prompt. Grad admissions committees, from my experience, read both, and, if necessary, forward the diversity statement to the grad division/diversity division that awards the fellowship. Hope that helps. 

Just realized this is info might be a little late. Have you heard back from any programs?

Thanks! I'm working on my fellowship statement of purpose and your advice is pretty helpful! I wasn't sure as well whether admissions committees read both statements.

Snapchat. I seriously don't get its appeal other than the "pretty filter" which just makes me look more pale. sigh

The struggle is real. Especially if you are already really pale.
