<p>You’re right, but I didn’t read your post. Sorry about that mix-up. Regardless of this detail, OP claims to consider himself/herself white, not Hispanic. Therefore, OP’s applying as Hispanic would be a perfect example of cheating the system. He/she does not consider himself/herself Hispanic; he/she is only considering applying as Hispanic for the the benefits in college application that it entails. This is precisely why I asked “Is it worth it to you personally to compromise your veracity and convictions of what is right” because that is essentially what he/she would be doing by cheating the system.</p>
