I consider myself Hispanic, but is that enough?

Also, the question is whether OP could check the Hispanic box, and my opinion as to whether s/he could/should and what might be of issue has NOTHING to do with the pros and cons of affirmative action. There are schools where Asians are URMs-- I know some of them.

<p>Yes, I know that there are schools that may consider Asians as URMs, mostly rural LACs that have difficulty recruiting and retaining URMs, and mainly the children of newer immigrants from SE Asia. I have commented on this in the past but did not do so in this thread as it is OT.</p>
