Top Law Schools

This may already be a topic, but in the midst of my freaking out about the LSAT yesterday, I started looking at LSN (again) and reading other forums and stuff.

And it just makes me crazy that, even as an URM, because I am a female it will be harder for me to get into top tier schools than it is for males. Like, I seriously considered "accidentally" marking males on my applications, because I know that my educational record is unremarkable for a woman, but incredible for a guy in the same exact circumstances.



Does anyone else feel that way? I would rather not start arguments or anything, just thinking...

What are you talking about?

FLAME.

Do not react, do not look directly at it, just click somewhere else and ignore it and it'll fade away.

so maybe i'm missing something here but... why will be harder for me to get into top tier schools than it is for males?

The only possible distinction I've seen between male and female URMs is among AA candidates, simply because AA males are the least represented out of all URMs. However, that difference is marginal at best.

But you best not be flaming...tread lightly, OP.

OMG what and amazing flame!!!!

I'll bite: How is your situation any different than that of someone who is not a URM?
