Re: 3.74/164 Mexican-American Where Should I be applying to?
You should blanket the t-13 schools. You'll likely get into one with a reasonable amount of money.

Re: 3.74/164 Mexican-American Where Should I be applying to?
Where do you want to go? You are primarily competitive for the the lower t-13, but you have a non-zero chance everywhere (aka you're a competitive applicant especially considering your urm status). If you submit a flawless app, you should get into a t-13 school. There is no reason to consider or apply to lower ranked schools.LegalMind007 wrote:Hello friends! I went to a top 20 UG and have a 164/3.74 and I'm Mexican-American. I've been getting conflicting advice from different individuals regarding what schools I should be shooting for.
In your opinions where am I looking at realistically?
Thank you for your time. God Bless. I really do appreciate it.

T-13 plus GULC/UT/Vandy/UCLA/WUSTL at least plus BC/BU/USC/ND/Emory if you are interested in any of those regions

I think OP will get 1 of DCNG and NYU with these numbers. close to full ride at USC/UCLA
*eta: likely less than a full ride at UCLA/USC, actually. predicting close to $0 at NYU and maybe 30-60k total from DCNG

I'm an MA w/ a 164/3.7, applied last cycle, and am currently at Stanford. Also got into Yale and virtually everywhere else (except Harvard and Penn). With your numbers/URM status, I think you have a shot at the T6 (based on my/my friends' experiences) if you have a strong resume, compelling story, and do not apply late in the cycle.
