  I definitely think you are an under-represented minority

  A couple forums on here that I've seen have mentioned that a minority might fall under- American Indians/Alaskan Natives, African Americans/Blacks, Mexican Americans, and Puerto Ricans.

  LSAC's website states this "Law schools seek qualified African American, Latino, Asian, and Native American students, as well as other students of color, to enrich the learning process for all students. Ethnic/racial identity is self-reported on your LSAC registration or on your law school application materials (or both)."

  I think you have a strong case to be considered a URM!

  As you are Hispanic, you can certainly claim URM status. You determine if you want to select that box and no one is going to dispute you on it. Schools will be happy to have another URM applicant rather than act as ethnicity police.

  As everyone else has mentioned above, you’d definitely be able to claim URM status.
