<p>im half arabic half hispanic</p>
<p>should i put both down or just hispanic?</p>
<p>in both cases what would be the pros and cos</p>
<p>bump?10char</p>
<p>being hispanic is always a plus .. arabic would most likely be a plus, too, and also you don't want to seem like your leaving something out so i would put both.</p>
<p>yea but i was like...woudnt arab(considered white by us census which is stupd)...negate my urm status or somethning...idn i maybe thinking stupid thoughts here</p>
<p>lol... I am arabic guess.. better to be Mexican/hispanic IMO...</p>
<p>Would colleges be all like "We don't need that Muslim terrorist, especially the way things are around now, lets look at our other thousands of applicants?"</p>
<p>Btw, I'm an Iranian Muslim.</p>
<p>you are def URM lol.
isn't there always another box on the app with "other" on it ?
Can't you fill in both, that would make you even more "attractive" for that school imo.</p>
<p>well thats what i thought but idn...anyone out there that have experience/knows about th9is?</p>

<p>Yale seems to be quite fond of Muslim terrorists.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>BUMp.. i want to know</p>
<p>prankity, if you'd taken the time to read that man's story you might reconsider his life as a black/white, with-us-or-against-us kind of thing.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would put down both. Bi-racial students are often even more highly desired than "pure" URMs.</p>
<p>not to challenge your credibility but do you have sources that say so hypocrite?</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but I don't have any really credible sources. I am just basing this belief on observations I (and others) have made. There are not enough biracial candidates to really support this claim, but based on past admissions trends for many colleges, especially in the south, a disproportionate number of biracial students are accepted. But perhaps this is just because they all coincidentally happen to be extremely smart. :)</p>
<p>Note that, however, when I say biracial I don't mean 1/8 Native American and 7/8 white (1/2 white or more probably does not get any benefit from being biracial). But 1/2 Hispanic and 1/2 Arabic would probably work. Of course, 1/2 white and 1/2 Asian would not really help :)</p>
<p>Put down biracial. Which box to check, though, I do not know.</p>
<p>do you really think biracial is a better option...i mean if i was 1/2 half black half hispanic then i would without a doubt but idn what to do</p>
<p>could you somehow twist 'what its like to be iranian-american' into an essay?</p>
<p>It would be dishonest to just check Hispanic. Be honest, or don't check anything at all.</p>
<p>Befs, I don't know where your other thread was about the difference between mexican hispanics and regular latin hispanics. So, I'll tell you here, I was looking at avg. SAT scores, and the regular latin hispanics average score was higher than the Mexican/PR average scores. I think that is why they ask. </p>
<p>Does anyone know if being like a black Jew would make someone more of a URM, or a Hispanic Jew?</p>
