<p>Are Asians URM's? I hear that it's actually tougher for Asian students to get into colleges as most of them generally score better than Caucasian students and therefore are up against higher standards. Can anyone verify if this is true?</p>
<p>no...they are ORMs.....(Over Represented Minorities)</p>
<p>So I'm guessing that it wouldn't help when applying for college? Is it a disadvantage at all considering the higher standards for this ethnicity?</p>
<p>asians are overrepresented at the ususal suspects (the ivies, stanford, Mit, etc). At many schools they are underrepresented.</p>
