<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>Two things:</p>
<p>I am of Chinese and German descent and am wondering if I qualify for URM status.</p>
<p>Also,
3.8 GPA, BBA and 173 LSAT good enough for Stanford? Good ECs.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>You don’t qualify for URM, and if you checked Chinese, your an ORM.
Anyways gradschools don’t give a **** about URM or ORM status, that BS was tossed out after undergrad.</p>
<p>Typically speaking, in answer to your first question, you do not necessarily qualify as a URM. You see, URM means underrepresented minority and Chinese are over overrepresented in higher education. And the German part doesn’t swing you one way or another. Even considering, your GPA and LSATS seem to be very good so I’d say you have as good a chance as anyone. But do not take my word on the last one I am not a Grad Admissions expert.</p>
<p>Thank you for the quick replies.</p>
<p>meteman at 2 is wrong. Law schools care a great deal about race. Nonetheless, you’re not remotely close to an underrepresented minority.</p>
<p>Chinese part: won’t help, won’t hurt.
German part: won’t help, won’t hurt.</p>
<p>meteman doesn’t know what he’s talking about.</p>
<p>You passed the 3.8 LSDAS GPA floor, and you have an LSAT score in the 99th percentile. Sure.</p>

<p>Are you not able to do Law after a BFA?</p>
<p>No, I’m reminding readers that your numbers are hypothetical.</p>
<p>Mhmm. Should have mentioned!</p>
