<p>I am a Sri Lankan and was wondering whether it is URM?</p>
<p>Underrepresented minorities (URM) refers to American racial and ethnic groups like Native Americans, African Americans, and Hispanic Americans (particularly Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans) who are underrepresented in a college compared to their prevalence in the U.S. population.</p>
<p>As a Sri Lankan, you would be considered an International Applicant, not a URM.</p>
<p>No I am a Sri Lankan living in Sri lanka…lol</p>
<p>Yeah Gibby’s comment still stands. You wouldn’t be considered a URM but an international applicant. Which is veryyyy different. haha.</p>
<p>Lol my bad, I am a Sri Lankan living in America…typo:D</p>
<p>The single biggest issue is are you a US citizen or do you have permanent residency (green card). If so, great. If not, you’re in the hyper competitive International pool.</p>
<p>I am a Sri Lankan with US Citizenship.</p>
<p>Then that allows you to be in the much-better odds domestic pool. However, no URM consideration as has been previously mentioned.</p>
