Law School Application Time

Damn, that duck has got one sweet deal.

Wow, I didn't know being an urm got so much advantage. All this time I thought I didn't stand a chance of getting into a top tier law school, but apparently I might be a shoo-in. Guess being black was finally good for something.

As an URM, I didn't find that I got any advantage. Didn't get accepted to any school where I was a little under the average when it came to the numbers

162 LSAT 3.71 gpa
GW waitlisted then rejected me.
BC rejected me.
Ended up at UF, where I am about at the 75% mark for both numbers.

That's extremely odd. What is your URM? Do you have a murder conviction or something? According to LSN you should have been golden.

Cuban-American. Perhaps they were worried that I'll steal all of their women with my Latin flavor?

To be fair though...at least here in UF, Cubans are way OVER-represented if anything. I do not remember if I had to fill in my ethnicity as Hispanic OR Cuban-America. It probably would have made a difference.

100% of the Hispanics at FSU are Cuban. There are also like 5 black people in the entire 1L class, and one asian. You can see how minorities get a massive boost, very few of them apparently want to be lawyers.

This must be new. In my first year, I think there may have been 2 Cubans in my section (out of about 110 people). Currently in the LLM program, I do not believe there are any.

Perhaps you didn't ask around enough?
