[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They're not going to notice anything that's not a URM "overcoming tremendous obstacles" essay. [/quote] Name a Top 40 school that's 60% URM? Despite all the hand wringing and racists comments on this board, these schools continue to be overwhelmingly white and wealthy. Of course kids of all races face obstacles and when I hear their stories, I'm far more impressed by their success than the pampered, uber prepped kids claiming they were "shut out" and that someone undeserving "took their spot." [/quote] The top schools are not 60% URM because URMs are not 60% of the applicants or enrollees by academic merit. URMs are undoubtedly overrepresented in terms of their academic merit. But the top schools have decided that being an URM is a form of merit. [/quote] Idiotic post. They are URMs because they are underrepresented in these top schools. 🙄[/quote]
