<p>The point of the US Census definition is that one is Hispanic if they self-identify as Hispanic. Before applying for college, did you ever think of yourself as Hispanic? Remember, while race is a biological concept, ethnicity is more of a social/cultural concept (identifying with Hispanic culture, history, community, etc.) This is something only you can decide, but it’s important that you fully understand the intent of the US Census definition.</p>
