<p>what's it stand for? i know it's general concept involves affirmative action and admissions to law schools. but what does it stand for?</p>
<p>under represented minority (can't remeber if the first 2 words are one word or not).</p>
<p>follow up on your questions, so Asians aren’t consider a URM then at all Law Schools?</p>
<p>^^ I'm not sure about individual law schools, but here (from LSAC's MILE project):</p>
<p>"No single minority group in the United States accounts for more than 4% of the lawyers in the United States. The Law School Admission Council and its member law schools want to increase the numbers of lawyers from underrepresented minority groups in the United States. In response to a statement that there are too many lawyers in the United States, a prominent law professor explained, "There are not a lot of Latino, African American, Asian American or Native American lawyers. We are still woefully underrepresented in the ranks of lawyers." The information on this web page will be of special interest to members of minority groups who are considering legal careers."</p>
<p>I know this is just one professor's statement, but this might be of some interest to you if you want to look further into it :)</p>
<p>asians are URM's @ law schools. SWEET.</p>
<p>Since we're on the topic... is anyone here actually a member of MILE?</p>
<p>Hey, what about Asians who are international students, not Asian AMERICANS? Are they also URM's?</p>
<p>but at some of the very top law schools, asians account for more than 4%... maybe somewhere around 10% of the student body. would asians not be considered URMs for those law schools then?</p>
