Re: Chances as a URM
With that GPA, as a URM, a retake is by far the best option. Even a 7 point increase would make you competitive everywhere except YSH.

Re: Chances as a URM
pls dont waste such a good gpa on that LSAT score. Retake for at least a 160, it's definitely possible and will be 50x more rewarding.

These may depend on how well you can play up your softs and minority status in your personal/diversity statement(s).revlawyer wrote:What are my chances. I just applied. URM, 3.86, 153, Honor societies, Washington internship, strong rx

I have the exact same GPA as you, almost the same LSAT, and URM status, too. If you are opposed to retaking (like I was), I think you have the best chances at Emory, W&L, Case Western, and Minnesota.
Good luck.

Re: Chances as a URM
Follow my LSN (the link is in my profile). We have similar numbers (kind of. I'm 3.41/151 AA male). From your list I already heard from W&L (admit) and UMin (reject) but I applied to some of the schools you listed.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Re: Chances as a URM
Thanks for the input. I'll see how the chips fall this cycle and make a decision from there.
