<p>I thought I'd let you guys know I've been rejected. <em>sigh</em> I did get into some great schools though!</p>
<p>It's all about the numbers! Good luck to anyone else for LS 2011!</p>
<p>what were your stats?</p>
<p>I'm a minority (which I thought would have allowed me to be accepted, guess not), ultimately ended up with a 3.97 LSAC GPA and a 172 (and I had scored higher before plenty of times!)</p>
<p>Those are VERY good numbers! Where did you go for undergraduate? I'm sure Harvard, Stanford, or Columbia will take you!</p>
<p>Agreed. You should get in everywhere else. have fun, pass my name along!</p>
<p>"Minority" (non-white) in and of itself isn't very helpful -- it matters to varying degrees depending on what race you are.</p>
<p>Also, admissions people have told me that it isn't enough to just check the URM box. You really need to show how your minority status has helped you grow as a person and how it can bring something meaningful to the school you wish to attend.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm not so sure I buy this one.</p>
<p>BDM- did you apply to Yale?</p>
<p>My friend who I thought for sure was going to get into Yale got rejected with a 175 and 3.88.</p>
<p>But who cares because he's going to Harvard.</p>
<p>The point is that things are unpredictable. I was confident I was going to get in but guess not.</p>
<p>And I feel that I'd feel dwarfed by others' accomplishments at Yale so I'm not really depressed. I'm much more worried about choosing a school now, where money is an issue for me.</p>
<p>And I wrote about the socioeconomic implications of my URM status.</p>
<p>"And I wrote about the socioeconomic implications of my URM status."</p>
<p>Yeah, like how you'll get into law school much easier than white people?</p>
<p>mohammad wong - one thing we can say with some degree of certainty is that historybuff, with a 172 and a 3.97, will get into school easier than white people who got a 171 on the LSAT exam and a 3.96 gpa.</p>
<p>Wow. How much hostility against minorities on here. I think I still would have had a decent shot at all of the Ivies except Yale without my minority status if you ask me. I just so happened to write about it because it's a big part of me.</p>
<p>Jealousy now is another issue. And I'm sorry you can't get the stats necessary to get in wherever you obviously haven't or don't think you will be able to and so have to attribute my acceptances to my URM status. . .</p>
<p>Yale is the hardest nut to crack. I know a 3L there, and Yalies are just unbelievably amazing. I.e. He was the valedictorian of his 5000 undergraduate class, 4.0 double major, 174 LSAT, human rights activist. </p>
<p>I don't know if you got into Harvard, but chances are good there. Harvard is more "pure numbers based" than Yale.</p>
<p>I agree with you though...Even without URM, you'd have a decent shot at every law school except Yale.</p>
<p>My LSAT is the same as yours (172), but my GPA lower (3.75) so I'm just hoping come next cycle, I can get at least get into a T-14.</p>
<p>Re #13: Oh, I don't think T14 will be a problem.</p>
<p>I hope so. Statistically speaking I should be fine, but admissions is always a crapshoot!</p>
