What should I put as my race?

Applying to College

<p>I'm half-Pakistani (so Asian I guess) and half-white, so on my applications next year what should I put?</p>

<p>Checking Asian and white would be the most accurate description of your racial background. If you’re asking about which would be more advantageous on college applications, please do a Search, this is a FAQ that is asked constantly. For instance:</p>

<p>That’s a good question for me too. I was born in the US, but my parents are Russian/Ukrainian. Unlike most Russians, I’m really tan.
What would I put myself as?</p>

<p>I’ve read that South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis, etc.) are more genetically similar to Caucasians than anything else. But don’t take my word for it.</p>

<p>I’m full Pakistani, got a bit of british and german blood in me as well, but mostly pakistani. I always put Asian since its technically part of Asia.</p>
