Question about URM status/influence on admissions for T14 schools

I wouldn’t usually post a chances question but have had an acquaintance ask me on behalf of a nephew of hers. This is a young man who is Nigerian/Canadian and I wasn’t sure whether or not URM status was applicable to a non-American applicant. His stats are 3.23/173. Any thoughts on the URM issue and/or his chances?

A 173 of any color/ethnicity has a great shot at the T14, particularly with a year (or two) of work experience.

I agree with bluebayou. The only risk is that low GPA–the high LSAT score shows high intelligence, but when paired with that GPA shows a lack of work ethic.
