OP’s question wasn’t about an emotional or other pull that makes you want to explore. It was a queston about raw percentages and what’s enough.

For college app purposes, this is more than finding out you have previously unknown dna composition and suddenly deciding you’re enough of that to use it to claim URM.

The question is asked about the ethnic identity, not some lineage details. If you discover NA, way back, but have absolutely no connection, no interest ever pursued, etc, it’s not going to tip anything.

It’s different to have an Aha! moment and then becoming interested. @Corinthian, your D may be a different case.
