<p>I've read the forum a little and have uncovered that citing your race is not supposed to present a clear advantage or disadvantage. This is news to me as I believed there were quotas to fill. Yet, I did not find a clear answer to my question within the various topics...so here it goes: My mother is of European descent and my father was born in China. I have generally cited Asian as my race throughout my life, as I was advised to by elders. Is it of any benefit to mark my race as both white and asian on the common app or does it really make no difference?
Any input is appreciated!!</p>
<p>P.s. Thank you to those who gave me feedback on my first post!!</p>
