<p>I'm just curious, what do colleges do with the multiracial people? For the way they try to diversify, is being multiracial a downfall? I'm just curious, because I'm interested in the common applications race options.</p>

<p>I’m multiracial, but my parents have only marked me down as one race (the minority one) consistantly from birth, so consequently, I applied as that race. It may depend for you?</p>
<p>That was the first thing I read. Thanks, but it doesn’t address my question. I want to know if they consider you a mixed individual or an individual of each race.</p>
<p>Yeah, Yurtle, it’s the same for me, basically. On my driver’s license, it’s African American, as it is on the SAT’s and pretty much everything else. However, there are still three quarters more of me that are not African American, and while I’d love to publish those. I’m unsure of whether or not they will be as beneficial as being just purely AA. Essentially, the question is, “Would colleges look upon being 1/4 Japanese, African American, German, and Sicilian as favorably as being just African American?”</p>
<p>(awesome name, by the way. that was the name of my first turtle =).)</p>
<p>“That was the first thing I read.”</p>
<p>You read that thread and did not find an answer? The answer is discussed, but the answer is you can put down what you think is true for you. I believe the newest common app allows you to put both.</p>
<p>Oh, okay, in rethinking your question, perhaps no one REALLY knows.</p>

<p>8D!!! YOU LOVE DR. SUESS TOO???</p>
<p>(omg. I love turtles so much.)</p>
<p>Anyways; Sicilian and German are both White. Basically it looks like you’re half African-American, White, and Asian (Japanese.) Frankly in terms of Admission, I think African American will ‘benefit’ you the most, but if you want to recognize everything, say: African-American, Caucasian, and Japanese.</p>
