Let's not ascribe malicious intent or a dismissive attitude to the comment by @ that go beyond the few words that they used. It's just as likely that they didn't articulate the point that, were you to compare two people of the same stats as OP, it would be far more comfortable for the URM candidate than the non-URM in the applications process.

The comment by @ would seem to indicate a bump for URM applicants. The use of "Only" might have been a poor one, but the comment and the person? I don't think they've done anything to invalidate OP's humanity or their experiences or their accomplishments; I think we can honestly say that it is a degree easier for a URM with the same stats as a non-URM to get in to the same institution.

That said, if you agree or disagree, all good and well, but I would say let's not stress over it and cause a flame war. Let's not get carried away trying to apply the ban-hammer. Give OP good advice. Ask @ to elaborate if the comment has got you that turned around, and if they don't, let it go. It's the 7Sage forum, just be positive and lift up the people that you can, and let's not quibble over things that are of no benefit to anyone, egos and ideological underpinnings aside. This really is a great forum and space for discourse and support. Let's remember that.

Wishing y'all nothing but success in your endeavours.
