Which UC school is more URM friendly?

Post by robertrulez » Fri May 22, 2015 9:59 pm

I dunno, after looking at UCLA's lsac report, they seem to emphasize quite a bit, even for a school not in the t14. Would a MA with a 3.6 and 162-163 have any chance at UCLA or UC Berkeley??

Maybe at UCLA, but both schools like high GPAs.
I'd retake the LSAT to improve my chances at those schools.

As far as URM friendliness, from the '09/'10 cycle on it's Berkeley, UCLA, Davis, and Hastings in that order (not enough data on Irvine yet). Is for your chances, I couldn't say. MyLSN, I guess.

There are many students those face this problem every year. They can't get admission because of not on merit.
