Hello all,
I've searched this question and haven't found a definitive answer. I'm applying to MD schools in which internationals are either put in the same pool as everyone (mostly private schools) or are categorized as out-of-state. I am black and I was wondering if I would be considered URM, or if URM is a category for US citizens only. Thanks and GL everyone!

International URM here. Everyone I talked to , of which a couple were adcoms, said internationals can be URMs. I checked the box this cycle and I don't think it hurt me doing so.
