I am a Canadian citizen and was wondering if a URM in Canada gets URM status in America. Specifically I was wondering about African-Canadians since some African-American slaves fled to Canada, shouldn’t African-Canadians count? Any input would be helpful.
Generally it only applies to US Citizens.
and Permanent Residents or however a particular college classifies domestic applicants. But, yeah, it will rarely apply to international applicants.
You have to be a domestic student to get URM status. Otherwise schools would just admit a bunch of int’ls from African and Hispanic countries and call it a day.
URM status doesn’t apply to internationals. Whatever race you are, if you come from a different country, you are considered an international at an American university.
