[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a position where I have to determine URM status, and American Indian/Native American is harder than most to claim, as you typically have to have tribal affiliation.  Other URM categories use self-identification as the standard.  The affiliation on the SAT scores won't matter, the college will use the information provided on the application.[/quote]
So great when those in a position to know post. [/quote]

So, if one checks off Native Anerican, Tribal verification could be required?  That's unclear; there could be one without the other, I suppose ,given the different standards.  [/quote]

My understanding is that if you check off Native American on the application it will then ask for a tribal number. If you are truly Native American and belong to the category then you have gone through the process to identify with a particular tribe and have received an actual tribal number. As the PP indicated, other URM categories are self-identified and do not require any additional information.[/quote]
