Yale Law App Question

Post by amazinga16 » Sun Jan 20, 2013 4:22 pm

Hello, I'm preparing to submit my Yale app, but in the demographics section, it doesn't allow me to indicate my URM status, is this normal?

I wouldn't worry about it - Yale does not have that question. Since schools are only allowed to look at race in regards to diversity of their student population, Yale expects your URM status to shine through in your diversity statement.

I noticed the same thing in applying. They should also be able to see race in your LSAC report I believe
