Where to Apply as a URM?

Submitted Question:


So, I don’t know the politically correct way to put this, but I have a question about the admissions boost I’m going to receive as a black female. I’m graduating from an ivy undergrad and my prelaw advisor is telling me to aim for schools ranked in the top 30-50 range. Is this accurate? I thought I had a good shot at better law schools.
- GPA: 3.8 LSAT: 164

cicon Corey:

You definitely have a great shot at better law schools – in fact, schools in that 30-50 range are safeties for you. Assuming you apply to ten law schools, five should be in the top 14, three should be in the 15-35 group, and two should be in the 36-65 group. Try to keep the same ratio if you apply to additional (or fewer) law schools. URM admissions cycles are unpredictable, hence the huge spread, but if this cycle is anything like the past few, you should be attending at top 14 law school at this time next year.
