Why on the Columbia application is there one checkbox for...

<p>Puerto Rican, one fro Dominican, and one for hispanic?
I’m both dominican and another hispanic ethnicity so I was wondering, do Dominicans have some sort of disadvantage to getting in, or vice versa? Which should I check off?</p>

<p>^Trust me, Dominicans, like all other URM’s, have a big advantage. Whether you check off Dominican or Hispanic or both you’ll still get that admissions advantage.</p>

<p>@GodfatherBob: Okay, thanks a lot. I guess I’ll just check off Dominican then!</p>
