<p>Is there affirmative action in law school admissions???</p>
<p>You must be joking....see Grutter v Bollinger.</p>
<p>Since I don't really expect 17-year-olds to be up on their constitutional law -- stanmaster, Grutter v. Bollinger is a recent Supreme Court case examining affirmative action practices at the U of Michigan. Yes, virtually all the top law schools use affirmative action, and the numerical boost given to URM applicants is very significant.</p>
<p>If you're a minority but not a URM is there any advantage in that fact?</p>
<p>I doubt it...if there is very little. Let's still remember that URM's..even well qualified ones...can be rejected from top institutions.</p>
<p>are the same set of minorities considered URMs at the graduate school level (law school) as undergrad? It seems as if law schools are a lot less diverse than the undergrad level, ofcourse I only saw the statistics for the top colleges...but asians aren't considered URMs at the undergrad level...is it the same for law schools?</p>
<p>wow URM get such an advantage in law schools, there is a chart that shows statistically the advantage but I forget the website. </p>
<p>Usually its according to Lsat, not GPA because well if you're lazy you get no breaks but it goes something like this </p>
<p>African Americans -5
Hispanics -8
Native Americans -10</p>
<p>Meaning that in the 25/75 percent range for colleges they will accept native americans who score even 10 points lower than their 25% admit rate on the Lsats.</p>
