Both of my sisters are Stanford grads and I’ve spent many summers there working. We are white but considered Native American because of a tribal affliliation. I know for a fact that Stanford is really into the URM thing and desperately wants as many as they can get. They have all sorts of programs to help URMs with school work so that they will graduate. Personally I was so put off by Stanford totally nuking academic studs so that they could attract URMs I decided not to apply even though my stats were way better than either of my sisters and I’m a URM in their eyes. To each its own but I don’t want to walk around having people think I need tutoring and help just to graduate.
