168/3.44/semi-URM Forum

[lalaelikapeka]

Any guesses on my chances with a 3.44 / 168 with a biology/Spanish double major from a top 5 school? I'm a white/URM "mix" (female) with 2 years full-time work experience and a pretty solid resume with research/leadership/service/etc

U Texas-Austin
U Houston
Vanderbilt
Berkeley
Washington University (MO)
Boston University
Boston College
Harvard
Fordham
Columbia
Pepperdine
Cardozo
Rutgers-Newark
Duke
Cornell
U Penn
U Chicago
Georgetown
Northwestern

Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, may I ask what URM you are? I'm mixed race, as well.

I think you could probably get into a lot of those schools if you write a DS! Including the lower-end T-14s. Are you applying this year or next year? If you're applying this year, you should probably get your apps out before Christmas, I'm thinking.

You will get into the highest ranked school that considers you urm, and expect to get some serious $$$.

FYI, here is all that matters: 3.44 / 168 / URM

Everything else is a soft at best.

Good luck!

Native American - both my parents are half - oh Texas.
and I'm applying this year, already sent many applications, just wondering if I should add some to be safe...

Awesome! I have a good friend who herself is half-native (Spokane Tribe). I'm NH myself.

Honestly, I'd apply up and down the T-14 if I were you, especially if you can get fee waivers to offset the cost. You're golden. And good luck!

Native American??? In that case, I wouldn't apply anywhere outside the T17. You will get a HUGE boost (larger than any other minority group). With that LSAT, I would extremely surprised if you didn't get into multiple schools in the T6 and a full scholly to at least one school in the T12.

Where'd you hear that? OP will need a great DS imho. I'm pretty sure AA and PR/Mex get much better boost than NA. I'm really uninformed about URM admissions though.

I dont know; usually if you check off the native american box they require "Tribal Affiliation"

This should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect. Although she had a higher gpa, you've got a higher LSAT, similar numbers, she's Half white/Half Native American, and this is just last year's admission cycle.

[sophia.olive]

are you serious, that is a horrible example (3.9, 167)

you need to apply to some more middle of the road schools than this person like CCNP

I thought AA male got the biggest boost?

Write a diversity statement. nothing is wrong with retaking the lsat and applying next cycle.
