Is being Romanian a URM? And how much does being 1st generation help?
<p>No to part one of your question</p>
<p>Shoot! So bascially, if you are white, it doesn't matter where you are from?</p>
<p>you're of european descent so you're not considered a urm</p>
<p>1sr generation can be equal to being a urm, but it depends on the college</p>
<p>If you apply to UVM, you will be considered a URM</p>
<p>Doesn't him being a first generation American and first generation college student help in some way?</p>
<p>Being first generation college can be helpful particularly at the most competitive colleges that don't get a lot of applicants who are the first in their families to attend a 4-year college.</p>
<p>Being from Romania could help if a college is particularly interested in having a very diverse population of students, including internationals.</p>
