Does the college verify your race/ethnicity?

<p>I guess i’ve never really thought of myself as hispanic. but now that i reflect on my culture, i definitely agree that my background could bring diversity to a campus. what i mean by diversity is that my background includes sniplets of the puerto rican culture i never picked up on…</p>

“Hispanic or Latino” refers to a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race.</p>

<p>refers to a person of puerto rican CULTURE. since i now identify with this culture, it’s not lying to say that im hispanic… or is it?</p>

<p>im more afraid that the admissions office will see irregularities in my reports… ACT&SAT&AP white non-hispanic vs common app white hispanic.</p>
