<p>I find it aggravating that IF all of this is true and we take your word for it, you have all these problems in your life and you’re worried about getting URM status for college admissions. If you truly believe you’re Hispanic, you wouldn’t need the assurances of random strangers on a n internet forum. Even if your story is true, it sounds like you’re trying to get an unfair advantage in admissions. The reason colleges may take URM as a hook is because those groups tend to come from impoverished backgrounds. Clearly if you’re a homeless foster child with no money you have had disadvantages. Then Hispanic or not shouldn’t even matter. If you weren’t looking to get an advantage you wouldn’t have made this thread because why would you care. But since you did, I feel you know yourself this is unfair and you’re trying to get people to agree with you to get it off your conscience.</p>
