<p>Wow, there's a lot of different opinions.</p>
<p>Hey Nickel Xenon, I'm from El Salvador. I study here, and hopefully will go to the U.S. for college next year. I hope URM + international is the best combination :P</p>
<p>internationals dont count as urms. they're just internationals.</p>
<p>Oh, that's true. Also, if you're an international, you're at a disadvantage when it comes to financial aid and admission. If you can't pay, that counts as something negative in admission.</p>
<p>damn, I thought internation counted as urms. Yeah I have merit financial based, but I´m applying need based and it all needs to come from the particular institution.</p>
<p>Nope. International does not count as URM. And hey! You're Salvadorian! So am I, but I was born in the USA.</p>
