What constitutes a URM? Can you lie?

<p>^I already knew Nixon resigned in fear of being impeached since it was pretty much a no-brainer, but the fact is he still resigned and did not get impeached.<br>
So is willful misrepresentation as grievous as actual offenses and tantamount to the same disciplinary action? I’m not hoping to butt heads here I am just curious how this is viewed with respect to other offenses (if this is an offense even to begin with).</p>

<p>So, jon, as you say, that is pretty much the result, so I really wanted to know, it gets you virtually no boost, is that right? If it truly does not act as a “game-changer” in counterbalancing a weaker GPA then it won’t do much to begin with, correct</p>

<p>Officially, the answer is none. As we have tried to explain to you repeatedly, “Hispanic” is not a URM for law school purposes.</p>

<p>baller, If “Jon” is jonri, please note that I did not make the statement you attribute to me. I don’t know how much being Hispanic would help. But assuming it does help, I don’t think it’s worth taking a chance that 4-5 years from now it will cause you a problem with C&F when you try to get admitted. I explictly said there is no way to predict what some not yet known C&F committee in some not yet determined state would do about it. I suspect though that if you lied and that lie were discovered, at the very least your app would be scrutinized to see if you lied about anything else.</p>

<p>Look, the real reason I don’t think the OP should do it is because it’s dishonest. However, I also think that it’s dumb to lie about things on your LS apps because they ARE scrutinized when you apply to the bar. </p>

<p>In many states, having a felony conviction doesn’t stop you from being admitted.</p>

<p>Some states don’t even request them…</p>
