<p>A Hispanic is a person who has a connection to any Spanish speaking country: through ancestry. SO this includes countries in Central America, South America (Minus non Spanish countries), Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Spain!</p>

<p>my buddy at (a Canadian) school got into Cornell ED, engineering. He had a ~1840 SAT. Granted, he just came to Canada a year ago from Thailand, so maybe his CR/W scores weren't looked down upon too much. He kicks ass at school though (sciences and math), and didn't ask for financial aid.</p>

<p>He also had a very, very nice recommendation letter.</p>

<p>"There was this young mexican lady from our school who managed 1200/1600 and got into columbia, then again she was the valedictorian."</p>

<p>I laugh also but that is good score at our school. I managed to do better than that it is like a rarity at our school. She didnt even go to Columbia, she ended up at Wellesley</p>

<p>United States government definition: </p>

<p>

@Census Bureau

The concept of race as used by the Census Bureau reflects self-identification by people according to the race or races with which they most closely identify. These categories are sociopolitical constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. Furthermore, the race categories include both racial and national-origin groups.</p>

<p>The racial classifications used by the Census Bureau adhere to the October 30,1997, Federal Register Notice entitled,"Revisions to the Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity" issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

<p>But of course it gets even more complicated with the category "Hispanic," which is a category that can be applied to a person of any "race." </p>

@Census Bureau

Hispanics or Latinos are those people who classified themselves in one of the specific Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino categories listed on the Census 2000 questionnaire -"Mexican, Mexican Am., Chicano," "Puerto Rican", or "Cuban" -as well as those who indicate that they are "other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino." Persons who indicated that they are "other Spanish/Hispanic/Latino" include those whose origins are from Spain, the Spanish-speaking countries of Central or South America, the Dominican Republic or people identifying themselves generally as Spanish, Spanish-American, Hispanic, Hispano, Latino, and so on.</p>

<p>Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person's parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States.</p>

<p>People who identify their origin as Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino may be of any race. Thus, the percent Hispanic should not be added to percentages for racial categories.

<p>And now I'll lock the thread, since I think the original question was already answered before the topic drift started.</p>
