Just how much of a "boost" do URM get?

Post by Spack » Tue Nov 02, 2010 4:51 pm

I'm an AA Female and I am applying to schools where my numbers are decent regardless of my race, but I was wondering how much the boost is on average? I read in an admissions guide that it can be as much as 10 pts on the LSAT and I also saw someone on here mentioning to add 10 points to your score if your are URM.
