Dream School is University of Chicago, applied - ED (probably not a rational move).
These are the schools I applied to:
Chicago - ED
Harvard
Stanford
NYU
Penn
UC - Berk
Northwestern
Cornell
Duke
Notre Dame
How likely is it that I can get into UChicago?
Thanks for all the help!

If you're Mexican/PR I expect you should be in at Chicago through your ED, and maybe even a coin flip if you're not.

It's not necessarily good or bad. However, most people around here will tell you that the data really only supports URM status for PR or Mexican-Americans since comparatively they have a high enough population to be underrepresented in law school compared to average US pop. Whereas other South American nationalities, and I would bet particularly Peruvian, don't have a noticeable enough population in the US to be considered underrepresented in US law schools.
