Asians and URM

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
No way. Asians are OVER-represented minorities
 
Asians are not under represented minorities but are still classified minority.
 
Nope. URM means people who are UNDERrepresented in Medicine.
 
Thanks for the quick replies. I knew I could count on SDN for fast answers.
One more thing. Is over-representation classified everywhere, or just in certain states? I live in Texas, would it still be the same?

There are actually quite a bit of Asians in Texas (i.e. Houston mostly, Vietnamese residents) so the Texas med schools also have an over-representation of Asians.
