<p>What ethnicities are considered URM's or are they different for every college? For example, a college like Howard University, which is majority african-american would not consider black people URM's? Would a college like Notre Dame, which has 4 % asians consider an asian a URM?</p>
<p>Colleges like Howard tend to view URMs as people who aren't black.</p>
<p>Colleges that have difficulty attracting people who are not white do tend to consider Asians URMs along with the other groups that are traditionally considered URMs. Asians may qualify for diversity scholarships at such colleges. I think that among such colleges is U Wisconsin.</p>
