diversity statement你们都写了么？

日落归田园

我想知道大家都写了diversity statement了么？
如果说我是中国人，这算是diversity么？
还有没有人写过是中国人，而且是LGBT的diversity statement呢？

确实我现在已经倾向于不提了。因为我感觉确实没有什么必要。

LZ我觉得您不妨给选定的学校逐一发邮件去问问的好，affirmative action可能对国际学生并不适用，但并不说明你的les身份就一定没有帮助。我若是您就找那些学校要个准信再下定论，毕竟我们这里七嘴八舌的都不权威，具体的招生政策当然是学校自己最清楚。

Non-discrimination against sex orientation is not even part of Equal Protect Clause in the Constitution . And there is no written laws or whatsoever to give more weight to GLBT group in admission process, for any schools, not mention that most law schools are really conservative.  American GLBTs can only sue schools for clear discrimination  against their orientation during the admission. they can't claim that schools discriminate them by not including them into the affirmative action. Of course more and more schools are open to GLBTs issue and start to pay attention not to discriminate them in any aspects, but all of those only apply to Americans ( to avoid the possibility to be brought to the court). There is no way foreign nationals can do anything about the potential discrimination therefore I suggest LZ not mention.

写自己是中国人没什么优势的，毕竟法学院里亚洲人多的是。

不知道楼主的LSAT如何？

如果要申请T14的话，估计WHY THAT SCHOOL? 更重要吧。

据说找工作的话，说明LGBT还是有一定好处的。
就像BYU摩门教也是不受大众理解，但是找工作好处不少。

not for us. As long as we are not American Citizen, affirmative action will not apply on us, therefore firms/schools have no obligation to favor us for purely because of our ethnicity/orientation.

Affirmative action和咱们没有关系么？我在想我是LGBT我以为在录取里面会有优势呢
