Was just going to ask this question. Also, being URM means the possibility of applying for some excellent full ride scholarships, such as the Morrill at Ohio State MSP-About | Office of Diversity and Inclusion, The Ohio State University While tOSU is a large school, the community that comes with the scholarship is smaller and full of high-achieving and socially-active students. Your extensive volunteerism could make you a good candidate. And OSU has a stellar GIS program with a whole undergraduate major in GIS available, as well as a minor that could augment other majors. And receiving a named full-ride scholarship like the Morrill (and there are others at other schools) stands out on your resume just as much as attending a “prestige” school.
