Recent URM graduate seeking chances at T-14

Graduate School Law School

<p>Hello, I'm a hispanic student from Uruguay and I've recently finally graduated from Florida State University as an ECON major with a 3.68 GPA. I have no yet taken the LSAT but i'm shooting around 165-167 on Kaplan PT. I know my gpa is not high enough but I have been an illegal immigrant 3/4 of my college career and just recently got approved by USCIS. Such issue really made it incredibly hard on me because I'm also very poor(by USA standards) and completely struggled to pay for college and I was unable to get a job. I feel like i've overcame plenty of obstacles and I'm just wondering if I would have a shot at a few school I've dreamed of attending.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for all the replies, sorry if this sounds like a trolling thread but everything is completely true.</p>

<p>Since you are not a citizen or Permanent resident, being a URM will not apply for you. You will be considered an international student. Even then, a 165-167 is low for the schools that you are targeting.</p>

<p>Get a counselor from your university to help you with your application. You won’t know unless you apply.</p>
