<p>tokyorevelation - I asked the question in response to what the original poster had said.</p>
<p>Some of the applications I have encountered did not provide a blank. I didn’t really feel comfortable saying “Other” or even just “Asian” or “Hispanic” because none of those describe me in the best way possible. I’m half Dominican, so even putting down “Hispanic” seems a little off to me. I’ve only experienced this in one application so far (Duke) but I suppose I’ve fixed the problem by giving my parents’ “country of birth” in the “Parents” section.</p>
