<p>Does being born in Russia give one URM status?</p>
<p>I think it wouldn't, but I'm not expert.</p>
<p>Are you Russian? Or were you just born in Russia but you are of a different nationality?</p>
<p>nope, you'd either be asian or european. neither is urm.</p>
<p>but if you live in russia you'd be international.</p>
<p>Russian...live in the US.</p>
<p>then no you are not a URM. If you are not a citizen or a permanent resident, then you will be part of the pool of international applicants.</p>
