Do I Qualify As a URM?

Applying to College
1

<p>One quick question: If my mom is white (Irish) and my dad is an immigrant from India, am I a URM?</p>

2

<p>Nope. Indians are over represented in college admissions.</p>

3

<p>Nope. Irish is White and Indian is [South] Asian. Sorry :/</p>

4

<p>No, you are not a URM.
In terms of college admissions, Indians would be classified as Asian = over represented.</p>

5

<p>No, sorry, don’t think so.</p>

<p>Being white may make you a URM in a literal sense (but probably not in a policy sense) at a few schools like UC Riverside, Hawaii, Howard, UTEP, etc…</p>

<p>Being Asian makes you an ORM at most well known schools, but some small liberal arts colleges are said to consider you a URM.</p>
