Hi! I’m applying to college this upcoming year and would like guidance. I’m 3/4 asian (Hmong, Cambodian, and Mongolian) and 1/4 white. On some college websites it’s says that multiracial is a URM but idk if you have to be mixed with the ones listed or just be multiracial.
You could mark all categories that apply to you, and colleges will make their own decisions about whether that counts as URM for them and if it matters for admission decisions (different colleges will make different choices on this aspect).
When assessing reach/match/likely/safety, do not assume that being URM moves the college (or merit scholarship needed for affordability) into an easier category.
alright ty! i didn’t know that you could elaborate on the common app
