Common App - Demographics Questions

<p>Although the Common Application states, "Common Application member institution admission offices do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, ..."</p>

<p>I will obviously be discriminated against because I was born white. </p>

<p>So if you're white or asian is it better to leave the demographic box blank or put your race? </p>

<p>Which one has a better "SAT conversion scale"? </p>

<p>I'm guessing that if I leave it blank they'll just assume I'm white or asian.</p>

<p>So from an admissions standpoint, which option is better?</p>
