Top Law Schools

I'm referring to Asian American being an Over Represented Minority, since African American is considered URM.

Will being an ORM hurt your chances of getting into a law school? Does it only register if you mark the census chart?

No it won't.

I'd bet it hurts your chances about as much as being white

My school doesn't hire whites unless they are 1/16 cherokee and publish stolen recipes.

If it's similar to some undergraduate schools, it would hurt more. Being white is the baseline. URM is +, ORM is -.

Some schools actually subtract points from your SAT score if you're an ORM, or at least used to.

I could *maybe* see that is schools with a retarded amount of asians, like some in the UC system 80% asian or whatever.. But afaik none of the top law schools are like this.

For undergrad it hurts.
