Message Name: females = underrep?
Date Posted: 07/18/2002
In Reply To: Legal Education Opportunity Program. I think its for lower class/underrepresented groups, something like that. Does being female qualify for underrepresented? Hastings_2L? And what is classified as an "underrepresented group". Do LEOP grades help at all in admissions?
Message: no way. ton of females here and in other law schools. LEOP caters to diff crowds that tend to overlap for various sociological reasons: 1) poor socioeconomic background. and yes, this includes white people w/ a poorer background. lots of white people get in thru LEOP w/ harsh circumstances. 2) under-rep minorities. (and no, Asian is no one of them) 3) some other disadvantage, like a physical handicap. (yes, hastings takes some of these too!)
