ok, i am checking mexican american for my apps.
my app on my transcript says i am white, although i don’t say i am white and never consider myself white.
on the US state department, i read that it has mexicans in censuses under the white race…
im wondering if this will lead toward confusion on my application to colleges when i check mexican american, although my transcript says white?
thanks for any help.
<p>Why don't you get your transcript changed to Hispanic if that's how you'd like to be identified. That would solve your problem. </p>
<p>Hispanics can be any race.</p>
<p>mexican american is its own category, i think..</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure. i'll look into it. i feel intimidated changing it, even though i am part mexican (you can tell)... would you just ask your guidance counselor? I guess I might go and do that... although I thought there was another method.</p>
<p>tell ur GC this :do you want one of your students to get in Harvard? if so, change my ethnicity.</p>
<p>haha... you're probably right.</p>
