Should I tick "hispanic/latino" when applying to colleges?

<p>If your grandparents were expatriate Americans at the time of your parent’s birth, your family had already “come to America.” </p>

<p>The intent of these ethnic identifications in the context of college admissions is to create a culturally diverse school community. You are an American, born to a family that had been American for generations. You have no Latin ethnicity. It would be false to claim that you did.</p>

<p>Focus on the other aspects of your application that speak to what you would bring to a diverse and interesting class. This is not it.</p>
