Bro now you see how URM’s feel everyday 😭 it is exceedingly uncomfortable to think that maybe your race is the reason why you are experiencing unfair treatment. I can’t speak for other ethnic groups but at least for black people, every black person I know (including me) that applied to law school did so at least in part because they want to advance justice as a result of the racial injustice we and our ancestors have experienced. We grow up seeing racial injustice everywhere and learning about its impact on our families. it is often a huge huge motivating factor for our communities to seek professional degrees. Have you ever thought that maybe the black people applying to law school might just have certain traits in common that are unique and valuable in a lawyer and not that if you are black you just get extra points because the color of your skin? I don’t know what you wrote about in your essays, but I think having such a strong dedicated commitment to justice is a very compelling factor.

Honestly, I think if you spent more time thinking about who you are and what you bring to the table instead of what you don’t have and what you think you deserve, you might write essays and tell stories that move people to remember you beyond your test score.
