“but it won’t make up for a poor gpa and/or a poor SAT/ACT score.”

The link I posted contradicts this.

“often times there are kids on CC who get into great schools with low gpa’s and SAT scores, but when looking at their stats wholistically, they have something special to offer to the school.”

Sure, but this is only a small, small number of applicants. The rest have great ECs and essays AND great academic numbers. You wouldn’t want me to believe that every URM has ECs significant enough to warrant admission, despite lower numbers, would you? All I’ve pointed out is that URM status is extremely beneficial to applicants in general.

BTW, it’s “holistically,” not “wholistically.”
