I've been reading through all the lawyer threads here and there's a lot of info here, so hopefully someone can help me out. I'm not really sure what range of schools I should be applying to. I took the LSAT cold a couple weeks ago and scored a 150, and then 156 a week later. I'm hoping with a year of studying (won't be taking the LSAT until next year at this time), that I could be in the 160s. My GPA is less than stellar (3.25 upward trend, father passed away while in school and this had a huge effect on my grades). I also am unsure about my URM-status. I'm hispanic, but I've also found out that my grandfather was half black. I know this is a touchy subject, but if I could give myself a boost and possibly help my GPA out, I would definitely like to take advantage of that. Should I check black on applications, or is that too much of a stretch? I would rather go to a less prestigious university than have the dean knock on my door on graduation day saying I'm not black enough, lol. But then again, I'm obviously looking to get in the best law school possible, unless a decent school offers me money (not likely?).
But anyway, any help with this predicament would be great, and I really appreciate it!!
