158/3.5 URM

Alright I'll throw my hat in. What are my chances? My numbers are 3.5/158 and I'm definitely applying to:

University of Houston
STCL
Denver
Miami
Loyola Marymount
Loyola Chicago
University of San Francisco
San Diego
Temple

I'm from Houston so I'd love to go to U of H. I am a Hispanic URM and I also did a month long summer pre-law program at the U of H law school. I've also received a LOR from the professor of that program so I'm hoping that I've got some things leaning in my favor in regards to U of H. Sorry for the long post but I'm definitely willing to hear any responses you fellow TLSers may have. I'm just ecstatic that I won't be taking that damn LSAT again, woohoo!

You should be good at most of these schools. I have heard however, that it is harder (relative to schools in other areas) to get into schools in Texas and California for Hispanics because of their high Hispanic populations.

Thanks for the response Kurama. Yeah, that makes sense about Hispanics in TX and CA. I just want to stay in Houston since I'm from there and also where I'd like to work once I graduate.
