<p>This isn't so much a question but more of an overall ivy league question.</p>

<p>I will be applying to a few ivy leagues in the near future and was wondering which of my ethnicities to put. My father is 100% Italian and my mother is 100% indian, giving me a decision between the two. Should I put Indian, Italian, or prefer not to respond on my application? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
