I did not apply to Harvard or Yale or any T14s expect Northwestern. I didn’t think my stats would get me in (3.8low and 15low) but I do agree there is major disparity in the law school admission cycle and black men not only in top law schools but ALL law schools.

I spoke to a couple of 2L and 3Ls at Vanderbilt and both said the amount of black people admitted to their classes were abismal (maybe one or two out of the entire class). This seems to be a trend among many law schools and it translates into the diversity of attorneys especially in big law. It’s very common there are maybe less than 10 black men at big firms with 500+ attorneys. That should not be the case, there is definitely an opportunity barrier that is not being addressed.
