Whether they are a URM (AAPI) would depend on the field/school.[/quote]

I don't see why it would depend on field/school.  Are there any fields or schools giving admissions preferences to refugees such as Rohingya/Hmong/Uyghurs? IME, Race-based  admissions preferences are based on if you check one the Black/Hispanic/Native American boxes. [/quote]

Here is what I mean. There are certain scholarships/programs aimed at attracting URM into their field or school.

The list of groups eligible to apply can depend upon what groups are under-represented there.

So, my AA daughter was recruited heavily by second tier SLAC's because they struggle with attaining a diverse ethnic mix. She has been eligible for URM internships  in the natural sciences but not medical sciences, because the under-representation of Asians is not the same in different STEM fields. Do you understand now?[/quote]

The notion that being LGBT is some kind of admissions advantage seems ridiculous to me. My son is gay, and as far as I can tell, a HUGE percentage of the kids in his school are too.  Is there any evidence for this claim?[/quote]
