Help!
Hi,
I'm in my junior year at Middlebury and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea about which schools to consider applying to....
GPA: 3.2
LSAT: 174
URM

Re: Help!
Puerto Ricans and Mexican-Americans count. The issue isn't how many X are there in US law schools, but has more to do with US minorities which are under-represented in the practice of law. Hence, AA, PR, Mexican-Americans, and Native Americans get URM boosts (and the boosts are different depending on the minority); I think that is all, but it is at least the main ones.
So if there were a ton of Peruvians in the US, and they were under-represented, you might get a boost.
