First, I am Cuban ... so not the typical classification for URM Hispanics. But with my numbers I think it is safe to assume I was given weight as a Hispanic minority.

Second, this was my third application cycle. I have listed the bigger results that I can remember from my first two cycles below. Major changes in my applications? No LSAT or GPA changes ... only changes in my softs and changes in the narrative/focus of my essays. But it is important to note that all my applications and interests connected over my three application cycles. Also, this last cycle the style of my writing was much more focused and personal than in previous years.
