<p>Please read the sticky thread about the definition of Hispanic. Hispanic is an ethnicity, while Caucasian/white is a racial category. Hispanics can and are of any race(s). As hm1 states, last name has nothing to do with being Hispanic.</p>
<p>As with anything on your application, if you are truthful, it will not sound fishy.</p>

<p>Be very careful of comments like this, colleges do actually ask for proof of tribal affiliations for NA applicants. And while they don’t ask for proof of other ethnicity or race information (just as they don’t ask for proof of ECs), they are knowledgeable and experienced with reading college apps. And contrary to popular belief, being a URM is not a automatic admit to your school of choice.</p>
