<p>If Student A is Black and Student B is Half-Black, does Student B get less of an advantage than A? </p>
<p>I'm curious because I've heard very little about how colleges look upon those of mixed race.</p>
<p>I suppose that in most cases a half-black applicant would just mark down African American, but please humor me.</p>
<p>Hmm...well would a half-black, half-hispanic student get double the advantage of a black student? Half minority, double minority, I don't think it matters: they're both minorities.</p>
<p>It all depends on what that person would check. If know of part white part asian people with American last names who opt not to check that. Also, I know of a Spanish Jew who only checked spanish. </p>
<p>If I would have to give an answer, i think student A has the advantage.</p>
<p>Yeah. Studnet A. A lot of 1/4 white kids 3/4 jap kids just check off white cause they don't look japanese.</p>
