It depends on what kind of Hispanic.
Only Puerto Rican or Mexican are known to give an applicant any kind of boost.

[mvp99]

MA and PR get some boost but not as much as AAs. Other hispanics? nothing really, at least systematically..

It doesn't "actually" add points to your lsat..

This site could help you get an idea. There's an URM option. http://lawschoolnumbers.com

I've only made one post on this site before but have since been reading other forums... I read somewhere that being hispanic can actually "add points" to your lsat/ increase your chances of being accepted somewhere.

Is that true? If so, how much of an advantage can it give you?

I'm hispanic and at this point I'm hopeful for anything that could potentially help!

Thanks!

dude we already established in your other trainwreck of a thread that your Cuban ancestry will provide no advantage

This is debatable.

Making a new thread still doesn't change the fact that you're Cuban and thus not a URM.

Maybe... but it also doesn't change the fact that he isn't forced to read it.

of course no one is forced to read your thread, but it constitutes unnecessary noise on the site, as the question has already been answered numerous times elsewhere.

Ok first of all I can and will write whatever I want. GET OVER IT. Secondly, the question was pretty general and I think others who are curious can also look here for feedback. Perhaps there's someone on this site with helpful advice that none of you have regarding this specific topic.

[A. Nony Mouse]

This is actually the kind of thing that's been discussed a great deal here, probably mostly in the URM forum, which is where I've moved this thread.

It definitely helps. I don't think its restricted to people who are Mexican or PR.

It's limited to whoever checks the Hispanic/Mexican box. It's that simple.

Actually, it's not that simple. Lots of times there are different boxes for Mexican/Puerto Rican and "Other Hispanic." Also, it varies by school and whether or not the applicant writes a diversity statement, etc. The topic has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum.

Exactly. This isn't a new issue being discussed on the URM forum.
