@StephanieThomas. Op is a Filipino (technically Asian-Pacific Islander)…East Asians (Koreans, Chinese, Japanese) and South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, et al) are considered over represented minorities (ORM)…Filipinos, on the other hand, historically have been clumped under the umbrella of Asian-Pacific Islanders…and certain Pacific Islanders are considered under represented compared to East and South Asians…but it is hard to say whether Filipinos are considered under represented minority (URM) in the traditional sense…to get the “boost” that one is looking for…only the admissions committee is “privy” to that information…since most colleges like to keep that kind of information “close to their vest”…
