Come back when you have an LSAT score. Focus on the LSAT and don't fall back on your URM status.

Agreed. Focus on the LSAT. Your low GPA will not help you out with these schools either. You need a BETTER score to have hope at UVA or Cornell. URM status does not solve everything all the time.

I definitely wouldn't ED emory no matter what your LSAT score ends up being. That's a lot of debt to commit to...

Re: Is it realistic to have a chance at these schools as a URM?
Thanks for the advice. I would only ED Emory because to me it one of the best schools I have a realistic shot at. I'm not even sure I would like Virginia very much but it is a much better school. I have decisions to make.The King wrote:I am not endorsing ED, and I encourage you to put significant effort into studying for the LSAT, but if you do chose to ED, then it would be much better spent on UVA (they also give you decision within 15 days, by the way) than on Emory. Do not ED Emory.
