@IvyObsessed1955 Sorry if I phrased that incorrectly. URM, in the context of college admissions, means that a certain race is underrepresented in a school’s student body with respect to the general population. Asians are over 4x overrepresented in Stanford. Hate to be the harbinger of an inconvenient truth, but the bar is set higher if you’re Asian at pretty much any selective university. Read this, for instance: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/20/opinion/asians-too-smart-for-their-own-good.html?_r=0.

And don’t try to paint me as bigoted by misconstruing my words. I’m simply stating a fact; there’s no implication.
