Disadvantaged Status

Hi SDN, im trying to answer the "Disadvantaged Status" question on my app. would the following qualify me as a disadvantaged applicant? -family emigrated as refugees from soviet union escaping religious persecution -3 other siblings, combined 15k/year income -public assistance (food stamps, public housing, medicaid) -designated HPSA -disabled father should my answer reflect the adversity i have faced and how i have overcome it? or should i save that for other parts of my app. thank you
