(I am 1/4th Jewish) Could that help establish me as a minority

[«ě»]

No, there is no race as in anthropological definition that is Jew, you're Caucasian. If you believe this is incorrect, you're too dumb for law school. Well, maybe you'd have a shot at Cooley. As for being a minority. Jews in law school? Right. About as much as Asians are a minority at math camp. Self identifying as a jew (and you're obviously not REALLY a jew) will hurt your chances of admission more than it would help you.

Being Jewish is an ethnicity, not a race. The Irish tend to have certain physical resemblances (red hair for example)--this does not make them non-caucasian.

Touche--ok, on second thought, it is a race.

I wasn't trying to be subtle

Ok, I'll try this again.  I was referring to being Jewish in an ethnic/racial sense (yes I do consider them a race of people, as did Hitler).    Putting aside religion, I do believe there is a physical jewish race that is somewhat separate from the Caucasian race> 

Buddy, I'm not trying to jerk your chain here, but I do think there is a problem with your views on race.  There is also a problem with you trying to get an advantage in the law school admissions process by utilizing a characteristic that has  probably not disadvantaged you at all.  If you have been subject to some social hurdles or discrimination because of your 1/4 jewish heritage many schools allow a supplemental essay explaining challenges overcome.

Well, it's not like AA requires you to be disadvantaged at all. If you grew up on Upper East Side with a surgeon mom and lawyer dad, you're still getting the wiggle room. Sadly
