How much does URM status affect LS admissions chances?
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2016 7:07 pm
I know I am not the first to ask this, but I was wondering how much it raises my chances. I am a URM with a 3.3 GPA no LSAT score yet, but assuming I can reach my goal of 165, how much can URM status help? Is there a general percentage boost in chance? I live in Southern California and I'd like to think there are more URMs attending law school in this area so would it not help in a situation in which I'm applying to a school with many more URMs than the average school?
