2.81/172 URM

Just wondering what my chances at T-10 are? For what it's worth (probably not much) my GPA is from an Ivy League, and the 172 is from my one and only LSAT take. Also, the URM is Mexican.

high LSAT URM gives you a clean shot at MVP (top 10). I would aim for Penn with $$. If you went to HYPS then it might serve as a small boost to your GPA but not much. CCN rarely dip below 3.0 even for URMs, but there are always exceptions. If you were AA male URM, then you might stand a stronger chance there but I think the Mexican boost is not as strong.

Good luck!

See, my specialty is RC.

Yeah you've got a decent T14 shot but more likely good money from T1s.
