<p>I'm really struggling with making a decision on which box I should select on the common app for ethnicity/race. I am half Caucasian (dad), half African (mom). I know that AA and other under represented minorities are more likely to get accepted than Asians or Caucasians, but if I select African/African American, I would be denying one half of my heritage. Which box should I select?</p>
<p>Select both. You’ll still get the AA boost.</p>
<p>That’s what my parents said too so I think that’s probably what I’ll end up doing! Thank you HobbitTon!</p>
<p>^^ That’s what I would recommend as well. </p>
<p>Thanks Gibby!</p>
<p>You can select two races, btw. </p>
<p>thank you bemusedfyz!</p>
