300那种可能就是谢谢是不是老黑，是不是拉丁，是不是之前这个Race被underestimated这种吧

这就是diversity statement，讲讲你的生活啊，啥比较有特点的，比如你一直以来的volunteer经验，你的长期爱好，你曾在生活中遇到的大挫折然后如何克服。不在于事情的大小，也不用写得和拯救了世界一样，只要让录取委员会觉得你所描述的事情对你的人生道路很重要，或对社会做出了贡献。关键在于写得“深刻”。。楼主如果真没啥思路，建议你搜一下MBA的申请文书，也许会发现一个新世界。。PS. ucsc还真友好，写1-3页这么长。。之前有学校让写300 characters的。。。

测对了，马上要截止了

写写自己成长的心路历程，类似于diversity essay。主要强调非学术成就外的成长经历，比如什么国际视野啊，领导力啊，家庭背景等等。

难，，，，，，，

就是写故事啊。。。
