<p>When I check the box for "race" on the common app, it also asks you to pick a country...is that the country that you originated from or where you live now?
Also, for the activites section, i have been volunteering at one place for a long time but i don't actually have a title or anything. does anyone have ideas for what i could put in the little description next to the activity (letters earned, positions held?)</p>
<p>Thank You!</p>

<p>well, im white, so i am not totally sure on this....but since the "country" comes up after you choose your race, i think they would mean what country you originated from. like if you pick "hispanic" they want you to pick "chile", not "united states".</p>
