<p>I really don't know what to mark for race.</p>
<p>My mom is half German, half Italian.
My dad is a mixture of Egyptian, Moroccan, and Sudanese.
I've lived in the U.S. basically my whole life, but I've visited all of those places.
My skin is darker than white, but not black; actually, I'm often mistake for hispanic.</p>
<p>What should I mark?</p>
<p>Other. Multiple races if that’s an option. What’s the quibbling?</p>
<p>Other. Or whatever you identify with the most.</p>

<p>See post #9. Seems per the federal definitions at least, all, maybe including Sudan, is considered “white.”</p>
<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan</a>
Technically, N. Africa and/or Middle East</p>
<p>"“White. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as ‘White’ or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Near Easterner, Arab, or Polish.”</p>
<p>i would go with Sudanese, just because that is the least represented out of all the races you listed. So it might better your chances? I know this one Sudanese girl wrote her essay on being Sudanese and it got her a full scholarship.</p>
<p>but…it is up to you, and whatever you identify with the MOST.</p>
<p>“i would go with Sudanese” because that’s the best gaming strategy in a vacuum of any morality or ethics. Nice wilddreams, real nice. Aim for the darkest race and check off that box.</p>
<p>Very sweet…</p>
<p>mini, where are you? We need you man.</p>
<p>I would go with half black/biracial, or whatever that option for that is. Seriously, though. If you say your half Sudanese, half German/Italian. It works, and it’s not really a lie. It’s up to you really. yeah…</p>
<p>How are you identified on your birth certificate?
How did you identify yourself for your high school?</p>
<p>I know this is a vague and annoying question but: What race do you most often associate yourself with? I know someone who is 1/8 black and the rest white, associates herself as white, but now all of a sudden she is suddenly “black”.</p>
<p>My suggestion, check all of them except Hispanic. Also, in your common app essay, you can drop a sentence or two describing your life as all those ethnic groups. I think it’s really cool though that you are really ethnically diverse :)</p>
