<p>This is random, but yet useless at this point in time. </p>
<p>I was wondering if you're 90% one race and 10% another, should you put both races down in your application? Will this help or hurt you?</p>
<p>I would say if the percentage of one race is that large, then you should just put down that one because all of us have at least a small percentage of another race in us.</p>
<p>it's the race you identify yourself as in daily life</p>
<p>Exactly as bearcats said. If you are bi-racial, what race you are has to be a personal decision; people on a forum cannot tell you what to put.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks.</p>
<p>im asian and white put both cant hurt maybe better chances</p>
<p>Well, I was just wondering. I suppose my second race isn't of a high enough percentage.</p>
<p>I am 85% Irish & 15% Native American.</p>
<p>I don't look Native American AT ALL so I think the admission people would question it.</p>
<p>I think you should put that you're biracial, but indicate the percentages. Native Americans are the the most underrepresented minority, so it might increase your chances.</p>
<p>if you put native american, your chance goes up by at least 3 times..but the more important thing is, do you identify yourself as native american in your daily life? What's more important to you, integrity or admission?</p>
<p>integrity...</p>
<p>My mom told me that I can't put that down because it's only 15% and I don't look Native American at all, the AdCom would probably question this.</p>
<p>If you had the proper papers to back it up, I'm sure it would be fine.</p>
<p>There are rules for this. Generally Native American background means that you have an established, documented, tribal affiliation. There are millions of Americans, black and white, who have a bit of native background, but this fact has absolutely no bearing on their lives and does not count.</p>
<p>may i ask what tribe?</p>
