hip2btriangle Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Hi, Does anyone care to write that stanford diversity essay? is it optional? How important is it? Please let me know what you think. i think all optional essays should only be written if you have something meaningful to say. take a stab at the essay, but since there's not much time before the dec 1 deadline i'd really make sure it's a good essay otherwise i'd just not write it to begin with. i ended up paraphrasing a personal history statement used for other schools.

joro Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The diversity essay puts you in line for diversity fellowships (I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caputmundi Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 It's not so much an essay as a few sentences. They only allow 700 characters! Don't misread this as I did, as 700 words, and waste your time coming up with something other than a few straightforward sentences. I had the same questions about whether to even fill it out. But I guess I'd rather be safe than sorry. I would rather not appear apathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
