<p>Because logically, it seems like they would be.</p>
<p>no. </p>
<p>african americans/black, non-white hispanics, native american.</p>
<p>not any of those? not urms.</p>
<p>I disagree with Tyler because his answer is incomplete.</p>
<p>It is true that in general, the only so-called "under-represented" minorities are the groups he mentioned.</p>
<p>However, there are many liberal arts colleges in our country that have relatively low (i.e. less than or equal to the Census percentage) Asian enrollment. These tend to be located in the South and Midwest. You could generalize and say everywhere except the West Coast and New England.</p>
<p>I encourage you, chanceme, to apply to some of these schools. Quite a few, such as Washington & Lee and Grinnell, are both selective and generous with merit-based aid.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>your ethnicity is considered more on a continental basis than nationality. Though I guess CERTAIN schools might have a low Asian admits. But for most schools, no.</p>

CC is a great resource full of excellent information about college. But, people on here often forget that CC is full of top-school obsessed kids. So what may seem to apply to all schools, probably just applies to top schools. Saying that, MOST schools in this country consider Asian Americans to be underrepresented. The only schools that don't are maybe the top 50 schools (if even that many). And considering that there are thousands of colleges in this country, you'd be considered a URM at most places. </p>
<p>But since, as I said, CC is filled with people who vy for top schools, I wouln't be surprised if you, too, were looking at a top school, and thus would be considered an ORM.</p>
<p>ORM- definitely.</p>
<p>aw ok. i just asked because a few people who chanced me brought it up. And hotpiece's guess is correct, I am looking at top colleges. so i guess I'm an ORM.</p>
<p>If you are applying to BS/MDs, asians (indians) are way way OVER represented in a lot of them. You have awesome stats, no need to worry about staff like this. Good luck, you truly deserve it!!</p>

<p>Very true - however, these schools aren't exactly looking for Asian applicants with less than stellar credentials (or, at the very least, less than what their student body generally has).</p>

<p>Yes, that's correct.</p>
<p>chanceme has stated that he is focusing on "top colleges." If he views himself as a competitive candidate for these "top colleges," then it is definitely in his favor to apply for some of these selective LACs.</p>
<p>Thats too bad - I'm from Bangladesh, too (Minnesota now)</p>
