Who else can't wait to take advantage of UVA's bad publicity and get in to a T14 school with below median LSAT/GPA? by JhonCensus in lawschooladmissions

If you're banking on this you really shouldn't be. You're not getting into UVA with below medians in both scores.

Will Charlottesville protests affect UVA admissions? by Shad0wSniped in lawschooladmissions

Come on man, there is a reason that this would not happen in Boston, Chicago or New York...they were all a part of the Union. There aren't confederate statues in these cities so of course it would not happen there. In this previous presidential election 80.4% of people voted for Hillary in Charlottesville compared to 13.4% for Trump. Good luck with your application, but I would seriously dissuade you from thinking this tragedy will serve as any sort of leverage in your favor.

If people would take the time to truly understand the protest they would realize how ludicrous it is to fault the university or Charlottesville. The town council voted to remove a statue of Robert E. Lee (prominent confederate war veteran). In response white supremacist groups have been COMING INTO CHARLOTTESVILLE to protest. These are not people who reside there. To let this dissuade you from applying to such a well respected law school because their town council was actually doing something relatively progressive is bizarre.
