<p>I am 3/4 japa and 1/4 mexi</p>
<p>my grandfather on my mother's side faked being full japa to get into it
his documents say he was japa and so do my mother's but i am mexi and japa
i speak spanish (from school), cook food, etc</p>
<p>is it a problem to not have any docs or do colleges not care about that?</p>
<p>It shouldn’t be an issue; just click the box that says mixed (or something along those lines) when you fill out your application form. They didn’t ask me to verify my heritage, so I doubt they’ll ask you-they really give applicants the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this section. The only reason I think they would question this is if, say, you said you were part Cherokee. I’ve heard there have been quite a few cases of Caucasian students marking “Native American” in the Common App, only to reveal that they’re 1/50th Cherokee on their mother’s side, or something bogus like that.</p>
<p>Ethnicity:
Hispanic: Yes; Mexico/MA/Chicano</p>
<p>Race:
Asian: Japanese
Whatever other race(s) your parents are.</p>
<p>No you do not provide documentation for these racial & ethnic statuses, but you do sign your application stating that all of the information provided is accurate and are held responsible for any inaccuracies.</p>
<p>The most common case for asking for verification is for native Americans; in some cases, tribal enrollment documentation or similar is requested.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the race and ethnicity questions are typically answered on the honor system.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info! Is there a website or program that helps match you to colleges that you would “fit” at?</p>
