Re: Half AA = full AA URM boost?

Post by Nova » Fri Nov 23, 2012 5:03 am

Mixed URM here. I got the full boost last cycle (in at some schools I was below both medians, big scholarships where I was at or above the LSAT median).

Why? Im guessing because they count us as URMs for their own statistical satisfaction.

The AA/URM seems so unquantifiable, despite claims to the contrary by some. I'm just trying to gather as much information as possible on what I can expect with a 3.6-3.7/170 from a top 25 with quite above average softs (according to TLSers, though not Olympian/Rhodes/Superman lol).
If you have a 3.6-3.7/170 apply everywhere:
