Do most medical schools sort out disadvantaged applicants separately? how are they viewed at most medical schools? Thanks

Completely 2 different things.
URM (AA, Hispanics), MCAT 500 --> can get into many medical schools.
ORM (Burmese, Laos, Malaysian, Cambodian, East Timor, etc.), disadvantaged (EO1, newly immigrant, ESL, full time job when studying, bla bla), MCAT 500 -->NONE accepted.
So disadvantaged =/= minorities

The road traveled is something Adcoms take into account. We especially like come from behind stories.

Since English is not my first language and I was not born in the US yet I'm Hispanic. Would I still be considered as an URM?

No. EO1=/= URM.

What community do you represent? And please don't say "Brooklyn".
Not all Hispanics are URM, but Spanish language skills are always appreciated.

Thanks!!

But it seems like they're asking if they're URM based on being Hispanic, nothing about socioeconomic status.
