<p>If I don't answer the demographics portion regarding race (since that part is optional), would colleges still see my race?</p>
<p>I don’t think so. How would they know if you don’t tell them?</p>
<p>Is it on your school transcript? </p>
<p>They can usually tell from your name although it depends.</p>
<p>Make sure you aren’t thinking of omitting this based on some faulty assumptions. And don’t forget, there’s parent info on the CA.</p>
<p>They will not hold it against you. If you want to leave it out, go ahead.</p>
