Hey 24 Y/O Puerto Rican Male Applying to the following:

I have a good GPA but a Horrible LSAT score and pretty solid softs. Good Luck to everyone Applying!

[CO2014]

Good evening lateness.. 3.88 174, 171.


Applying to YHS so far, I might apply to Columbia and NYU. If things don't turn out well, I'll pass this cycle. My WE is strong, however my softs blow and my GPA is from a mediocre state school (GSU). Best of luck to you all!

My dad lives in Dorado, I live in FL. I'm heading down in March since I will have no time to go down there for oh, the next three years or so.

Congrats on Miami and Fordham! I think you might pull both BU and BC.

I haven't been in 2 years. Prior to that I went every single year, multiple times a year for a bit there, and lived there for a summer. I just miss the feeling of the island. I tell people to vacation there all the time and they are never disappointed.

+1. It really is wonderful and there is so much to do. From the rain forest to the beaches to old San Juan, you can't go wrong in PR.

Edit: Oh and on the subject of cycles, congrats on your Kent acceptance. I'm hoping to hear back from them this week. I ended up applying to a ton of schools, so far I'm in at Hofstra and DePaul, out at Illinois and W&L. Too bad about that Miami wait list, with all the snow in NYC, they look more appealing to me every day. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks

Let me also echo that sentiment Dorian. It really is great to see a fellow Puerto Rican have such outstanding options in front of him. While ethnicity doesn't define any of us, it is inspirational nevertheless. Congrats.

I just applied last week, not hoping for much, but we'll see.

I also applied when they sent out that wave of fee waivers, not expecting much either

[Art + Law]

I graduate from the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras and my numbers are 155/3.65 and a strong résumé, and just get accepted to Cardozo, it was the only app that i submited, they have a great art law curriculum and don't think I could make it to NYU with my numbers. So I had two options, Cardozo because of the program and localization or University of Puerto Rico Law because it is cheap and have a great record of students accepted to LLMs on top schools.
