- For the schools you are applying to, you are NOT an URM. Period.
- It is possible that you could be regarded as potential contributing to diversity based on your socioeconomic or geographical background. Possibly.
- Academics are about more than just grades. What is the academic rigor at your current school? I see no mention of AP courses, for example. Or weighted vs unweighted GPA. Maybe your current school isn’t particularly rigorous… in which case it is a better strategy to apply as a repeat 10th grader.
Why are you applying to these prep schools?
