Hi all,

I was wondering if a separate essay is needed for addressing each one. It seems to me that they are the same thing. So can I just write a diversity statement or do I have to write one for UG as well or include it as an addenda.

Thank you in advance!

    I don't know your specific circumstances, but your DS should probably cover the fact that you're in an under-represented group. You almost certainly should not write what would essentially be two diversity statements.

    Thank you so much @"David.Busis" You made my day!! I was confused because some applications call it a DS and some a UG. It makes sense to just have one statement and indicate the under-represented portion.
