Coming from someone in your exact boat:
I have applied to all my schools claiming white heritage because even though I am 1/8th Cherokee Indian, I am not a registered member of a tribe and thus do not have the same lifestyle as others who share my bloodline.
As much as I would love to take advantage of it, I can't, and on the common app site I used, you literally cannot move forward in your application if you claim native american heritage without a tribe.
It's not so much your blood, its your activity.
So you're outta luck, sorry.
