Ethnicity?

<p>Can you list your ethnicity if your mother was born in and grew up in a fairly small european country(and I have relativesthere ) and your dad's third generation from the same country? Or is it still considered caucasian?</p>

<p>Your race is white. Your ethnicity is related to whatever part of Europe your ancestors came from. It’s not likely that your ethnicity is going to factor in your college admission.</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>What if the situation is a little different? I was born in Lithuania, and my parents are Russian/Lithuania. I also speak Russian at home. Should I mention that in my application?</p>

<p>In general, you can always describe any detail about your background that you choose to mention on a college application. I’ll lock this thread in the interest of referring further questions on this subject to the main FAQ thread. </p>

<p>Good luck on your applications.</p>
