How much does URM status matter?

I've heard several conflicting views on how much URM status boosts your application. So, I'm wondering what the general consensus is on how much of a "boost" the following URM statuses garner.

-African American
-Native American
-Mexican American

Feel free to add others.

Thanks for the help.

ETA: Preferably in terms of LSAT boost points.

A little premature, but it will probably go that way. But in short, it matters A LOT.

There's a search function.

Stop being a lazy fuck and use it.

I've heard that AA gets you a 10 point bump, and everything else is less than that.
