<p>Hi
I have a latino friend and he would like to know what would be the minimum GPA and LSAT he would need to get into the top 14 law schools especiall Yale Harvard and Stanford.</p>
<p>Any advice is great
thanks :)</p>
<p>Yale
GPA: 3.97
LSAT: 177</p>
<p>Harvard
GPA : 3.95
LSAT: 176</p>
<p>Stanford
GPA: 3.94
LSAT: 172</p>
<p>Your friend should set those as his minimums.</p>
<p>^ Those are not minimum, especially for an URM. </p>
<p>I would suggest to your friend that they investigate class profiles at individual schools’ websites. Also, some find <a href=“http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com%5B/url%5D”>www.lawschoolnumbers.com</a> helpful.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think he was being sarcastic, to an extent.</p>
<p>Lawschoolnumbers will be useless. Hispanic URMs do not receive as much as a boost as African American URMs. Since LSN profiles do not tend to specify which applicant is which, there will be a tendency to conclude that the applicant as a good chance at schools based on the successes of people who are, in fact, African American URMs.</p>
<p>If your friend hasn’t taken the LSAT yet its better to take the test first and then figure out where you will fit in. My daughter is Mexican and is just getting notified now about schools. She applying late last spring and didn’t like her choices so she reapplied this fall and just got into USC yesterday and waiting on many others.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>Make sure the personal statement involves a discussion of how he was beaten by the police and how he wants to pursue public service law in the context of representing downtrodden minorities pro-bono in the interests of justice. O.o</p>
<p>If your friend can’t figure out how to use a computer and post on his own I wouldn’t hold out much hope for law school.</p>
<p>I don’t understand questions like this, is he going to work harder if the answer is above what his GPA is now? LSAT? How would any answer be relevant to anything? “My friend has a GPA of 3.7 and an LSAT of 160 and is latino, can he get into HYS,” would make sense…try again.</p>
<p>The only Latinos who receive bumps are Mexican-Americans and Puerto-Ricans because the United States government has historically screwed those groups over. If you don’t know how, read up on it. Other Latino subgroups do not receive any boost. End of story. I didn’t interpret Kwu’s post as sarcastic, but as realistic.</p>

<p>That’s not true. In fact, many elite schools, such as Harvard, don’t distinguish among Hispanic applicants during admissions.</p>
