Urm

Applying to College
1

<p>Please could someone tell me exactly what races are "Under represented minorities"?</p>

2

<p>Generally, african-americans, native americans & hispanic/latinos</p>

3

<p>So indians do not count in the URM</p>

4

<p>Nope. Indians would actually be overrepresented, to some degree, in the applicant pool, unfortunately. Overrepresented being relative to their percentage in the population.</p>

5

<p>Doesn't Pacific Islander count as well?</p>

6

<p>if you are either chinese or Indian, it is actually a huge disadvantage to be the said race :( unfortunately that includes me too...</p>

7

<p>The same thing applies to Jews. I wish we were in the URM because I want to do LEAD :(</p>

8

<p>Well that sure sucks... especially since I'm average.</p>
