<p>^ are you serious about that last one?</p>
<p>Since when are women a URM?</p>
<p>I dunno, just throwing out minorities I knew.</p>
<p>I don't know what URMs MIT considers, I am curious as well.</p>
<p>schools look for minorities at THEIR school, not just overall; they like a mix of students; I believe there are still less "MIT type" females than males so it is probably easier but, of course, not easy, to get in like it is easier to get into a LAC as a male.</p>
