Hi everyone,

I am new to TLS so please direct me to other posts if my questions below are already answered.

1.) I am graduating undergrad one semester early b/c it will save me a ton of money (I go to a T50 private, liberal arts college). Am I considered non-trad?
Will law schools care if I do graduate a semester early?

2.) I am a first generation college student and (south asian) Indian. I understand it does not make me a URM but if I'm wrong please address this.

Many thanks!

Non-Trad indicates that you have been out of UG for some time, either working or some other capacity.

Law schools won't care about you graduating early one bit.
You won't be considered URM for the purpose of law school apps, unfortunately.
