<p>I will reiterate one more time, the key factor for marking Hispanic for college admissions is if part of your ethnic identity is Hispanic, not if you have blood relatives from a Hispanic country, there is a difference. See this article discussing the concepts of race and ethnicity:</p>
<p>[Concepts</a> of Diversity](<a href=“http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/med/research/csri/ethnicityhealth/aspects_diversity/concepts/]Concepts”>http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/med/research/csri/ethnicityhealth/aspects_diversity/concepts/)</p>
<p>Ethnicity is a social construct, not a genetic one; and it is situational (eg. were you raised with recognition and awareness of your Hispanic cultural background), not permanent like the percentage of blood running through your veins.</p>
<p>As I stated before, this is for each individual to decide. But you should understand the accurate definitions of these concepts in making an informed decision, not one based on the misconceptions of you or others.</p>
<p>p.s. no need to be paranoid when you answer truthfully.</p>
