<p>The fact that your great grandparents came to Argentina from Italy is not a problem. A large proportion of Argentines immigrated from Italy, and they ‘became’ Argentine and therefore Hispanic/Latino.</p>
<p>The key question is what Silly states: do YOU self-identify as Hispanic? There are so many ways (eg. learning the language, participating in cultural activities, visiting relatives in Argentina, etc.) and degrees of identification, it’s really up to you to make an honest evaluation. You can identify with more than one heritage (eg. Hispanic and Irish), and you can be of any race(s); just be sure that you are comfortable in whichever designation you make.</p>
<p>To give you a better idea of how Hispanic candidates are considered in college admissions, see the two threads linked to in post #2 here:</p>
