does being jewish count for anything?

<p>do you get any extra points like a urm?</p>

<p>At top schools Jews are overrepresented minorities. At small Southern LACs, URM status is possible.</p>

<p>I don’t think so. You’re talking about the Jewish religion, right? If Jews counted as URM’s, people might start converting for the admissions bonus.</p>

<p>No, Jewish people are overrepresented at top universities, though I do not believe there is any negative impact on Jewish applicants because of that.</p>

<p>Also, “Jewish” could have been referring to a Jewish ethnicity.</p>
