What am I?

Applying to College

<p>I've seen similar posts about people asking if Arabs are considered URM and I've checked with the US Census website, and they're not...they're Caucasian...</p>

<p>BUT most Arabs that have asked those questions are from Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, etc. and to tell you the truth those people usually look pretty white (no offense)</p>

<p>I'm from the Arabian Peninsula and I'm a slightly dark guy (think average Indian skin color) and most people confuse me with being half white/black am I considered an URM because unlike some Arabs I don't "look" Caucasian, when applying to college I'll probably check "other" but how do colleges view someone whose "other"? and is there anyway that being Arab would help me?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>check other, write what you are, and move forward. As long as you don't check caucasian colleges will be more than willing to call you a URM.</p>
