Hello, I recently discovered this website and am planning on applying for a sociology graduate program next cycle, (fall 2013). I was wondering if it is advantageous to be of Native American descent, a registered tribal member? I ask this because I was also thinking about law school and know that the URM's get a "boost" in admissions. I ask this, not concerned about receiving a "hand out," but rather as a way to assess my situation with what type of schools I would be able to get into with my credentials. My GPA at the time of application will be 3.45, I have undergraduate research experience with one of my sociology professors whom specializes in criminology and economic sociology. I am scheduled to take the GRE in a month, and I do realize that alot is contingent on the GRE score. All this considered, I am curious about the potential advantages that being a Native American might bring to me. Thank you, Cody
