@ghh900 - I am closing this thread because anyone telling you to lie would be violating the Terms of Service (it is a Federal offense to lie on a form such as the FAFSA) and you are getting the predictable (and correct!!!) advice not to lie anyway. Besides, it might be easier to get caught in this lie than you think. Can you honestly remember how many times you have checked the Caucasian/White box on other forms that might be in your high school file? Guidance counselors fill out forms for these schools that they cross check with your representations. So there are numerous reasons not to lie, not the least of which it is just wrong.
