Hispanic half black half white?

Hispanic/Latino are interchangeable terms for college admissions purposes, see post #1 of the Definition sticky thread.

Please note an important point in one of the threads I directed you to earlier: one major factor in who is considered a URM and how much impact it will make is the college. There’s going to be a difference between a selective college that receives applications from many highly qualified URMs and colleges that have a difficult time recruiting and retaining URMs.

While you cannot mark Hispanic on the CA, you can discuss your diverse background in essays, demonstrate it in your ECs, etc.
