<p>URM- Underrepresented Minority, usually Hispanics and Blacks, although I would say UGA could use more out-of-staters and people from lower incomes and should count them as minorities as well. In any case, they are obsessed with getting good “diversity” (aka noncausian) numbers in their admissions data. Thus there are tons of initiatives to recruit all nonwhites possible. Regardless of your ethnic background/skin color, I honestly don’t see why there’s so much worry about minorities not fitting in- the ones I know came in knowing a ton more people than all us out-of-staters along with where all the suburbs and high schools were located. So the bottom line is don’t worry- the minority group members that I know are loving it and race really isn’t that big a deal at all.</p>
