Top Law Schools

Hey all,

So I know that law schools give a boost in admissions to selective "URM" groups. These groups are African American, Native American, Mexican American and Puerto Rican.

My question is: What, if any, difference in boost is there between different races?

Thanks!

AAs and NAs get a bigger boost than MAs and PRs, but it's very qualitative and varies across schools.

This is pretty much the best answer that you will find. Anything with more detail would be pure conjecture.

I thought PRs got one of the bigger boosts?

b. In before the clusterfuck.

NA > AA really?

Thanks for the replies guys!

Is there any way to meaningfully speculate on how large the disparity is?
