<p>@obicc12 please don’t act like you didn’t have any hook.</p>
<p>@chaldo but I don’t…i don’t really see myself as a URM, not the first generation…nothing</p>
<p>what’s the rate for Oxford ED this year? I want to go to oxford now</p>
<p>You’re African-American and a woman. That’s two URM hooks right there.</p>
<p>Yes, African American is a URM. Being a woman, however, is NOT a hook, unless you’re applying as an engineering major or something.</p>
<p>I tried to log into OPUS to check my financial aid document status, but I’m unable to log in. Is anyone else experiencing this?</p>
<p>what does that mean, you dont see yourself as a URM. it doesnt matter what you see, it matters what the college sees. not trying to make a comment on your acceptance itself, i just think it’s a little silly to deny that that is a part of your application.</p>
<p>Hey guys, check out my post for when you get in/if you’re already in, to create an emory.edu email and join the Facebook group that we’ve created!</p>

<p>when i imagine someone who is considered an “URM” i thought it went beyond the race of the applicant and checked financial background as well and i can tell ya right now that financially, pretty stable…i would like to believe that my acceptance goes beyond the race section of my application…</p>
