I know Asians, especially Indians(from India) are usually considered ORM. Also, the Asian percentage is 14% which is pretty high. However, Asians are still included to be eligible for DIVOH and it says on the DIVOH page that the event is for underrepresented groups, which makes me wonder if I would still be considered underrepresented. Are Asians, or more specifically Indians, considered URMs at Amherst?
I am not sure. I’d say fewer Asians apply to LACs in general than they do to universities, so possibly, yes.
First-generation (to college) and low income kids are given a tip in admissions (also eligible for DIVOH regardless of race), do you fit either of those criteria?
I don’t consider myself low income, more like lower middle class and no i’m not first gen.
No.

Hi,
If you really want to know how many Indians are at Amherst, you could try searching for the student body population statistics.
