Where exactly in my AADSAS application am I noting that I am applying as an under represented minority (URM)?

Either way, what you put on paper will be Asian and middle eastern, whether that is URM, I don't know.
If you trying to definitely be a URM, put Native American .

I think you are joking but not sure. While this is a blurry topic, especially since ethnic/racial backgrounds are so integrated now, if one were trying to pull a blatant lie about their ethnicity, definitely do not go with Native American. This is the only URM claim that needs legit verification. Unfortunately for those whose uncles told you that you were 1/16th Chippewa, it means absolutely nothing unless you can cough up a Certificate of Indian Blood or Tribal ID.
