Hi all,

Two things:

I am of Chinese and German descent, do I qualify for URM?

Also,

Is a 3.8 GPA in a BBA program and a 173 LSAT good enough for Stanford? ECs are strong.

Thanks.

1) No you are not URM

2) you should have a good shot at stanford if your 'softs' really are strong (stanford is one of the schools that actually cares about that stuff), but you never know with stanford, theyre kindof a black box

I say go for it. I know a number of white splitters there. Good softs, nothing earth-shattering, but your numbers are high. As long as you're not boring, you have something of a shot. Congrats on the good numbers!
