<p>Does the hook of URM help in OOS admissions or is UNC not looking at that? Trying to figure out whether this is a reach school for my ds or really just a pipe dream. Stats are 2030 sat (630cr/710m/690wr), 4.25 wgpa, asian.</p>
<p>what is the hook of URM that you believe your son has?</p>
<p>Asian is not considered a URM, sorry.</p>
<p>He needs to get the 630 cr up to even be competitive. If he can be on the high end of 1400s or in the upper 1400-1500 range (old SAT) he’ll be far more competitive as an OOS applicant. Then, have him really focus time and effort on his essays which are a BIG part of UNC admissions.</p>
<p>Thanks eadad - </p>
<p>I was thinking that Asain maile might be OR not a URM - I read it several times and thought maybe I was missing something.</p>
<p>Nevermind, I just thought asian as an unrepresented minority at UNC is urm - guess, it only applies to hispanic or black? </p>
<p>Yes, he knows CR is low. Trying to get it up. Just trying to manage his expectations because even with it up, he might not stand much of a chance.</p>
