Yeah, I’m in year 11 of high school and I’m interested in, well, actually, a lot of the same schools you are. My friends go to Narrabundah College in Canberra but I think they’re planning on going to ANU or some place in the US, probably Stanford or Berkeley since they’re wimps and can’t handle cold weather.

And URM means underrepresented minority… basically non-white ethnicities. Colleges like to accept them for the purposes of representing these ethnicities properly. Kind of a racist policy, but one ingrained in the admissions process.
