Greetings, will be applying to medical school soon.

The gestalt I get from our wise SDN Adcom members is that the bolded will definitely help with your URM designation.

You are what you are. Check the box(es) that apply (ideally, you checked the same box(es) on the 2020 census so that you are represented in the denominator of any equation of representation of your group) and let the chips fall where they may.

Use the WARS to target your application. Figure your category with and without your ethnicity check box and apply to schools that would be reaches as well as some better bets.

Half Native is considered URM.

If you are enrolled in a federally recognized Nation, consider IHS when you are applying to med school.
