race factor in admissions

<p>i am both part indian, as well as african american...i am wondering what one would be better to put as far as helping increase my chances of being admitted? on the application it says native american, eskimo, or aleut all in one category...what do u guys think? i am above the average gpa for transfers.</p>

<p>click that "other" box and say what you are.</p>

<p>that's what I did, though I put "human race" as my responce rather than check off the "hispanic" one like I could have.</p>

<p>Go for native american haha its the only race higher in AA than being african. </p>

<p>What a sad society we have today that we have to decide between which races to put on our college applications that will get us a higher hand.<br>
^This comment was not directed at you, i'm just pointing out that this is a common question/delimna</p>

<p>other people are saying to put down black, what do you all think? i thought coming across an indian/alaskan native was rare and they had lower admission standards</p>
