Should I declare as an "economic disadvantage" on my amcas application? If i do, I'd be considered an URM. at the same time, would schools look down on you because you can't pay the tuition?
If you really do qualify as being econimically disadvantaged, and your parents do too, then YES, by all means, include this information on your aamc app.sdnstud said:Should I declare as an "economic disadvantage" on my amcas application?

Disgruntled One said:ummmm... in my junior and senior years of high school, i was definitely poor. but now that im away at college, everything is paid for by scholarships etc. so im not living on the streets (neither are my mom and sister b/c they live with my grandparents, but we have absolutely no extra money, and they cut it damn close when it comes to food). so while college life is like heaven compared to my old life a couple of years before i left, my family is surely considered poor. but still i didnt know if there was some sort of cut off or something....
