<p>You are Hispanic for college admissions purposes because your father comes from a Spanish speaking country. Hispanic is an ethnic category, not a race, Hispanics can be any race(s). Being Hispanic does not have anything to do with what you look like or even if you learned to speak Spanish at home. </p>

<p>Please take a look at the Hispanic Students subforum for more information and resources for Latino students.</p>
