Just curious...will URM have better chance of getting acceptance into dental schools??

To answer your first question, non-whites and non-asians.

As for you second question, no clue.

Unless we're the bureaucrats, none of us knows, really, honestly.

certain Asians are URM, I believe. I think some southeast Asians are URM

URM almost universally refers to African American, Native American, or Hispanic. Everything else would just be speculation, or there is not significant data recorded for sub-cultures.

Whether or not it helps them get into dental school has been debated ad nauseam. It will probably help for Meharry and Howard, after that probably not so much.

What has been proven time and time again for acceptance is a good GPA and DAT.
