GPA3.4/167 UCLA Econ Major Forum

[samantha.b233]

I graduated from UCLA in 2011. I am not sure if Econ is considered a "hard" major...I also have a minor in philosophy if that helps at all...

I wouldn't consider myself having strong softs. But I do work in a law office as a legal assistant right out of college and will get recommendation letters from my bosses (both lawyers). I am Chinese and have been in the US for only 6 years. Is it considered any form of URM (I want to say probably not but also want to make sure)?

I would like to know my chances of the following:

UCLA
Berkeley
U Chicago
Georgetown
Duke
Cornell
any other good law schools in Maryland?

Thanks!

Chinese != URM

Econ is not considered overwhelmingly hard, and your softs won't get you too big of a bump, most likely. Retake, if possible.
