does being eurasian count as URM?

<p>im just wondering, would that be better than putting white?
because i feel like they discreimnate against asians so if i am half, would it count against me? but really, being mixed is being in the minority. </p>

<p>would it be wrong to put white if I am only half?</p>

<p>Eurasian does not count as URM. I think you would put Other. Some schools ask for picture with their applications.</p>

<p>do you identify yourself as white?</p>

<p>do you look white?</p>

<p>if you answered yes to either of those questions, i think you can safely put white.</p>

<p>would it count if someone was BORN and raised in europe for a few years before moving to america?</p>

<p>No, you are not a URM, which refers to people who are underrepresented in colleges compared to their presence in the U.S. population.</p>

<p>I see. So just check other?</p>

<p>Well if you check other and your last name sounds asian, it really doesn't matter.</p>
