just by the numbers, I was thinking about what chances I'd give you at those schools, then looked at LSP and they were pretty much the same as the at/below %. Not that I'm an expert, but those numbers seem like a good expectation. You should also check out lsn if you haven't already, for schools that you are on the line for, the work experience might give you a boost that could push you into the admit pile. Did you apply yet? ED anywhere?

I applied to all these schools already. ED to Virginia but got rejected.

Then all there is to say is good luck, you will know your chances at these schools soon enough.

No way. In at Indiana and UGA at least, with a gambler's shot at each school. Those are borderline WL/admit numbers for most of those schools. Throw in the URM, and its a total crapshoot.

Except that "Other Hispanic" means NOT URM.

I've heard this before, but where is the evidence behind this? Not being antagonistic... genuinely curious.

That LSAT is low for emory, illinois, and wustl. UNC is a no go if he's a non-resident. Probably right about UGA and Indiana. I won't get into the URM argument. Its been debated a lot on TLS. CW says only mex and PR are considered URM, but a slight bump may happen. Include a DS OP.
