URM (underrepresented minorities are:
African American
Hispanic-American
Native American
Pacific Islander (Tongan, Samoan, etc.)
Basically, these are cultures that traditionally don’t send their kids to college for a host of reasons.
It’s something that the colleges need for their diversity, stats, etc.
Asians and Asian Indians are ORM (or overrepresented minority)
ALSO, UCB is a California Public university. Affirmative action is against the law in California. Can’t use it to gain admission.
