Should I mark White or White and Asian?

<p>Hi, I am was born and raised in America to a white father and a Chinese mother. So I have a white last name which can hide my Asian heritage.</p>

<p>We all know that Asians get discriminated against in the application process, because of the stereotypical "Asian genius".</p>

<p>I was wondering should I put White on the application or just check White and Asian.
There is no "Other" box for the Common App.</p>

<p>I really don't associate to my Chinese relatives, all of them mostly live in China and I only see them once every few years, and I speak a little bit of Chinese. I honestly consider myself more white than I do Asian.</p>

<p>However on the application process, if I put White I know that it will be slightly easier to get in. However if I put White and Asian, they might consider me for a minority scholarship.</p>

<p>Any advice please?</p>

<p>BTW, my SAT scores aren't that great I got an 1820. My GPA (unweighted) is around 3.8 or 3.9 and my weighted GPA is 4.2.</p>
