关于Purdue大学Diversity Essay

Purdue大学的申请材料里有一项Diversity Essay没有给出要求，一脸懵逼，于是去跟小秘问了下。觉得大家可能都有这个困惑所以就发上来啦~ps我的专业是Material Engineering
邮件内容复制如下：
You will need to also write a Diversity Essay and upload it as the Statement of Purpose.  You will have two essays to upload to your application.
A diversity essay would describe any experiences that would show that you have overcome or experienced things that have made you a stronger person.  It does not have to be long and it does not have to be spectacular.  It just needs to show that you have experience different than many other people.
I hope this helps.  I have searched for instructions as well.  This part of the application offers extra support to your package.
【ps 第一次发帖，如果格式不对请见谅，大家都加油~】

UCLA申请奖学金也需要一个diversity statement, 我把要求贴出来供楼主参考

To be considered for a Eugene Cota-Robles Fellowship (for doctoral study) or Graduate Opportunity Fellowship (for terminal master’s/JD study), applicants must submit a Diversity Statement by answering one or more of the questions below, in no more than 300 words. The Statement should articulate applicant’s potential contributions to diversity as broadly described in the 500.13 Guidelines for the Graduate Admissions Process & Codification of Policies Governing Admission.

Ways in which your life experiences and educational background inform your understanding of the barriers facing groups that are underrepresented in higher education.  How will your research, creative efforts, or scholarly discourse in your graduate program, contribute to the diversity and equal opportunity in higher education?
Your drive and motivation to persist and overcome barriers in higher education that may have disproportionately disadvantaged you. If appropriate, include evidence of your success in these efforts.
Your active engagement (e.g., through participation, employment, service, teaching or other activities) in programs focused on increasing the representation of groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education.

请问一下那小蜜有没有说关于diversity essay的格式什么的啊？然后除了介绍你遇到的困难和解决的过程外还需不需要加额外的东西？

谢谢啦！！！

楼主加哟u

有些专业 比如BME的 如果高中不在美国读的 就不用写diversity essay

想问下lz，普渡大学的writing sample也是每个专业都要写的吗？我是cs的
