That's really sad. We need more minorities in the law profession. I could check the URM box myself - I'm half Mexican, but I think I got the LSAT score I deserve, and will attend a school where I can excel. It's sad that minorities who check that box end up dropping out because they can't keep up. If the differnce is getting into law school or not, I can see why they do it, but if you get a 165 on your LSAT, HYS are going to chew you up and spit you out.
