Top Law Schools

what are my chances?

Texas wasted no time in rejecting me.

Jeez what's that 24 schools spread all over the country? Where do you want to practice?

Hard to predict, being URM is tricky with stats like those.

Generally, at least in my opinion, one should only apply to a select number of schools when they genuinely know they are particularly likely to get into at least one of their 5-10 picked schools. With numbers like his, and the unpredictability of URM, especially later half of cycle, means he needs to pad his chances with more schools. Probably, in his case, less about desired area of practice and more about rank/prestige.

yep pretty much what he said

Plus at 16 bucks a pop it doesn't hurt to apply as much as I can.

So....what are my chances at those

I'd say out at most schools around the T17.

Mexicans don't get as big boost as blacks do.

Also both your GPA+LSAT are on the low end, even as a URM.
