King & Spalding LCLD Diversity Scholar

Their website says: "Candidates must have an ethnically or culturally diverse background or be a member of the LGBT community."

Straight white male. Grades well above what K&S normally requires to hire 2Ls. No Atlanta ties but from Southeast. Is coming from a legitimately impoverished background plausibly culturally diverse? Worth applying to?

Probably not going to cut it. Also, what kind of grades are well above what they usually require? They hire at around 3.7 at T14s...
