Not all URM's have low LSAT scores and Low gpa's. Some of us have high gpa's (3. and pretty good LSAT's (165). I wish people would stop assuming that just because I am a Black girl from Brooklyn I was given a hand out.And even if my ethnicity did give me an added boost why the f*ck not. I live in a area where the zone high school has a 20% graduation rate. The elemetary schools don't have enough seats and all the teachers are under paid. Went away for college and worked 40hrs a week to help mom dukes out and to pay my tuition. S*it just ain't fair around here. And if law schools want to recruit me to added a little color to their lily white club damn right I'm gonna go for it. I'm not a racist and I have friends who represent all backgrounds. But I pity the fool who steps to me on the URM BS because my foot will be going up your a**. Thanks so much for listening.

You have effectively contradicted yourself from the start. And btw, you are full of sh*t. I am from Brooklyn, and there is NO school in Brooklyn, not even Erasmus High, that has a graduation rate of "20%," cut the sh*t.
You are saying you got a handout, heh, that means that you ARE below the people that you are going to school with then, right? a 3.0 isn;t anything to be proud of anyways, just so you know.,
