Ethnicity and Applications Question

Applying to College
1

<p>I've asked a couple of my friends as well as other sections of forums and I still can't decide what to apply as my ethnicity. I'm half Chinese and half Arabic so as Chinese falls under Asian and Arabic falls under Mediterranean and therefore white... I know that Asian falls under "over represented minority" therefore I'm hesitant in putting down and Asian. Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of putting down Other (chinese and arabic) and white? Or if anyone thinks Asian would be a better choice then enlighten me :)</p>

<p>You’re going to fib about your ethnicity?</p>

<p>Put down an accurate description of your racial make-up. Between Asian, white, and white and Asian, it will make no difference for college admissions.</p>

<p>I’m closing this thread and referring the OP to the ongoing Race FAQ thread:</p>
