Hi everyone. I'm currently in my senior year at a top 30 university and I wish to apply to law school come September.
I took the LSAT twice. My first time I received a 157 the second time a 167.
My LSAC GPA is currently about a 2.9. My regular GPA is higher. If I pull As before I graduate my GPA will break 3.0.
I'm 3/4 Middle Eastern and 1/4 African (Black).
My family immigrated here, however my African grandparent passed away a long time ago while my family still lived in the middle east. Also, I obviously look much more middle eastern than I look African. Is this going to be a problem or is my family's ancestry enough? I don't really understand how they will know my race.
With all this in mind, here are my questions:
What schools should I apply to? Should I ED at any school?
I am 3/4 middle eastern and 1/4 african, how does this affect my URM status?

You are a URM. Nobody is going to question your heritage.
