Yes… you are all right. I might have misread the URM point, but will look into it. Definitely not mexican or puerto rican. But if this can work in my favor, I will research this. And will also figure out my Pacific Islander ethnicity as a URM -which no one has referred to- as well. Yes diversity is a strong issue at home, writing about it should be fun.

And about the LSATs I agree. Actually, my first post on LS threads was is regard to this topic. About how much I should prepare for it, if I were to take it. But because I will already be holding a Law Degree (from abroad, which isn’t that strong in the US), I wanted to check out the option of a JD as opposed to a LLM (no LSATs needed). My original choice was to pursuit a second bachelor’s degree in the US and work work work… I’ve stated this before. And then in a few years when I’m older (like 23 or 24) and have real world experience, see which graduate level degree I should get. So yes, I was researching CLS because it sounded like a great opportunity worthy of changing my mind and completely changing the path I was working on (having to take LSAT -which are not even scheduled in any country close to where I’m living-, looking for FA, possibly acquiring a huge LS debt and so on). So it is not pointless, it gives me something to look forward to… or to not look forward to at all.

And btw I appreciate every comment.
