First Post: Common App Question??

Applying to College
1

<p>So my question is related to the bio page of the common app...</p>

<p>on all my other applications the ethnicity questions simply asks to select ONE.</p>

<p>however on the common app it says to CHECK ALL THAT APPLY.</p>

<p>I am caucasian, greek, and hispanic (spain).</p>

<p>sooo my mother is a super tell the truth mom and really wants me to check hispanic (spain) and caucasian bc those two are both on there. I have no ECs, or essays about my hispanic background but i am for sure hispanic. I would just like to know if my mother's morals are correct and if it would be ok to select both since it says check all that apply even though i do not express it in my app?</p>

<p>thanks so much, please let me know.</p>

<p>On the Common App, select both.</p>

<p>Why would you not? Is it because it feels a little opportunistic?</p>

6

<p>Just because you're from spain, that doesn't make you hispanic! FYI.</p>

<p>i thought Spain did mean Hispanic?? due to Spanish... having the word spain in it aka originating there.. oh well thats besides the point yeah i am going to check both as that is honest and on the common app it says select all.</p>
