@excanuck99 If it’s within the context of Columbia’s definitions that’s a different story, but surely you should be able to see why these contradictions, to someone not innately familiar with Columbia’s specific definitions, $80k is far more than “low-income” (50% of American households earn less than 50k) and I don’t know how you could expect us to know about your oddly unique URM case.

I’m satisfied with your explanations, they’re plausible enough. But surely you must be able to see why having things that appear to be contradictory would make us doubt your unsubstantiated and anonymous claims.
