<p>Which would confer a greater advantage, URM status or being from an underrepresented location?</p>
<p>Funny you should ask.........they kinda go together.</p>
<p>Hispanic from south texas any good? (5 minutes from mexico)</p>
<p>Texas isn't underrepresented.</p>
<p>It really depends on where the school is located. Minnesotans may be underrepresented at Swarthmore but not at Macalaster.</p>
<p>"Funny you should ask.........they kinda go together."</p>
<p>Like a Hispanic from Alaska???</p>
<p>No, a Hispanic from Texas or an African American from Mississippi.</p>
<p>Or a Native American from Alaska.</p>
<p>How about a Russian from Thailand?</p>
