What should I put as my race?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm half white half filipino.</p>

<p>What do I put?</p>

2

<p>^^Omg, me too. (well techinically 1/4 Filipino and 1/4 Chinese, but I usually say Filipino)</p>

<p>edit: I usually put mulitiracial, but if that is not an option, I put Asian.</p>

3

<p>put either multiracial or white/other</p>

4

<p>Is half filipino considered URM?</p>

5

<p>Is it possible to be white and a minority at the same time? I understand it's possible to be mixed, but white and minority at the same time seems a bit ironic.</p>

6

<p>I guess it's who you ask. Race is such a pain in the but anyway.</p>

7

<p>Yeah I dunno over the years of taking standardized tests I've been switching between "White", "Asian", and "Other".</p>

8

<p>Me too. We decided to switch to Asian permanently.</p>

9

<p>what is URM?</p>

10

<p>Multiracial.</p>

11

<p>URM is under represented minority.</p>

12

<p>URM = underrepresented minority</p>

13

<p>Does half white half filipino qualify for URM?</p>

14

<p>lol, I'm half filipino too. This has been discussed on these boards before (ie my threads), so I'm sure you'll be able to find something.</p>

15

<p>kk I'll check I haven't really looked through these boards before.</p>

16

<p>Put other, then specify.</p>

17

<p>i wouldn't put asian, according to CCrs it seems to be a disadvantage in the college admissions process.</p>

18

<p>I'm planning on putting "other" on my application, then explaining. Or "multi" if there's a space for that.</p>
