<p>We know that the evil monster AA loves blacks and latinos and native americans but how exactly does he (or she but actually it more sense for AA to be a minority so he or she is probably transgendered) look at multiracial applicants. Is it better for them to apply as the minority or as a multiracial applicant?</p>
<p>(only half joking I do really want to know)</p>
<p>African-American: +2
Native-American: +5
Middle-Eastern: +1, +3 if from a troubled country
European-American: +0
Asian-American: -3</p>
<p>Thus, a 1/2 Native-American + Asian-American combo will be a +2. </p>
<p>Nah I’m kidding. I honestly have no idea how colleges work out AA.</p>
<p>^ You forgot Hispanic.</p>
<p>Anyways, I’m curious to know lol. I’m a multiracial URM, though.</p>
<p>
Caucasian.</p>
<p>Multiracials are only like 2% of the population I think that we’re probably pretty underrepped. But for college and jobs and stuff is it better for me to apply as just black or as black and white?</p>
<p>I don’t know. I’m checking off all 3 of my races…even though all 3 are underrepresented.
I mean…if you really want the boost lol, apply as black. If you don’t really care, apply as both. If you’re against AA, decline to state. :)</p>
<p>I’m checking black LOL</p>
<p>Depends on the individual.</p>
<p>Barack Obama: Black.</p>
<p>Tiger Woods: Caublasian.</p>
<p>Choose what you want.</p>
<p>If I was more multiracial… I would pick both.</p>
<p>If a person is half Native American from a small tribe, and half African from a small tribe. That right there is a big boost.</p>
<p>I mean I’m against affirmative action but I mean I need whatever boost I can get. I went to Exeter last year and my grades weren’t great and when I came back home whenever they did my transcript they didn’t even weight the classes I took even though the classes I took there were way harder than any AP or Pre-Ap class class I’ve ever taken at this school. So anyways my GPA’s pretty much ****ed.</p>
<p>Check black.</p>

+1 from a Palestinian. I’m just as Caucasian as any Irishman.</p>
<p>
There’s quite a bit of Irish-Palestinian solidarity. Murals in Northern Ireland call for liberty for both nations.</p>
<p>Indeed. Very similar stories in both nations.</p>
<p>Both have similar thoughts on alcohol too.</p>
<p>Really now? I remember Palestinians as being pretty anti-alcohol, and the typical Irish stereotype is that of an alcoholic.</p>
