Common App Demographics

<p>My parents are African but they immigrated to America. So basically, I was born and brought up in America. On the Common App, it asks: What do you identify yourself? I checked Black/African American. Then, there is another question that says: Which best describes your Black or African American background? Obviously, my background is from Africa but I was not raised or born in Africa. I don't know whether to put Africa or U.S./African American or both? </p>

<p>I have already applied to some colleges and I just put Africa for my background. I don't know if it is wrong form me to put that my background is from Africa. If I shouldn't have put Africa for my background, should I contact the colleges that I applied to?</p>
