Speaking of ethnicity only, my wife was raised in Brazil (first 18 yrs) and parents still reside there, though she was born in the US (hedge against the 1964 coup). Previous threads on the ‘hispanic’ question seem to support that my daughter meets the base requirements for designating ‘hispanic/latino’ for purpose of qualifying for the National Hispanic Recognition Program. Considering our circumstances, can anyone confirm this for us? Also, would this be acceptable for most selective universities and be recommended as potentially improving her chances of acceptance? thanks.
