When they say "Native American," they almost always are referring to the tribes that were indigenous to areas that are now the USA. In other words, Mayans would not count as "Native American" as the term is used in the USA (I dont know why this is, and I don't neccesarily agree, but this is what is meant by "Native American"). see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States

You can select Hispanic if you want. I would hesitate to select Mexican, since Mexican is a nationality and not a race, so DNA tests dont reveal much. But its up to you.

" So, of course almost all peoples of South America and Latin America would be show a good portion of Native American DNA, right?"

No, this is not correct. There are large portions of South America that are largely white European, due to later waves of immigration from Italy, Germany, Spain, etc. There are also large portions of the Caribbean and South America that have a number of people with African ancestry or mixed African/European ancestry (no indigenous), due to the huge numbers of slaves that went to the Caribbean and parts of South America (just like the USA). Latin America is racially diverse, just as the USA is, and has had various waves of immigrants. Maybe a larger portion of Mexicans specifically show indigenous ancestry but many do not as well.

Not sure why you think a "Cancel" in the LSAT history would look any better than just a low score. In other words, I think these two applicants would be exactly the same:

Applicant A:

Cancel

171

Applicant B:

163

171

If this becomes standard, schools are just going to (probably rightly) assume that "Cancel" meant a low score, and judge it exactly as they judge a low score now. Which is, not much, unless you have 3+ on your record, in which case eyebrows will be raised.

Now if they didnt report cancelled scores at all, that would certainly be an advantage.

Spivey does hourly consulting....

Are you sure they dont list a more specific GPA eslewhere? My GPA, for example, is listed as: "GPA:

3.75 and up/almost all As"

on the cover sheet,

But then in the body of the academic summary report, it has an actual number.

Getting shot is generally only a boost if its during a mass shooting and you can spin it politically, or possibly if it is someone with a history of mental illness and you can play that angle. A random shooting in the foot or butt because of a family dispute won't score you many points.
