<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about any choice here giving you an advantage or disadvantage, since any of them will mark you as a minority and will basically put you in the same category, at least as I understand it. I’m also interested in this issue since I’m majority white but also have significant black (~1/4) and native american (~1/16) ancestry, so I don’t always know how to identify myself (so I totally get where you’re coming from- the college admissions process can be hard for those of us forced to make a definitive choice about our racial identity while we’re still trying to figure it out), especially when that identification changes what possible advantages I might be given. Anyway, I know my advice will still leave you with a choice with no clear answer, but I would advise trying not to worry about what affect your choice will have and just focus on how you’d like to identify yourself.</p>
