Help me understand the URM boost

Post by kevgogators » Thu May 29, 2014 12:42 am

Hi y'all,

I'm relatively new to TLS. Currently prepping for the September LSAT and trying to properly inform myself on the admission process.
In doing so, I found a thread on admitted URM's and their stats. Mostly, the URM's that posted were AA and a few MA's. It seemed to me that the boost for AA was significantly higher.

My question is the following; Do any of you know the weight of a Puerto Rican URM boost when compared to others?

In that entire thread I was unable to find representation for a PR applicant. I know these things tend to be somewhat unpredictable, but I'd love to see some stats on previous cycles or know of any general rumors.

Thanks.
