Re: Boricua or Azteca?
1. Yes, most likely. Write a Diversity Statement though (unless you choose to highlight your diversity in your PS and it would be repetitive).AztecaRex wrote:Hey guys, first time poster, long time forum stalker here ,
I'm personally Mexicano and Napoletano (which will end up being condensed into mexican/white on applications though it's more like mexican/white/arabic/north african/god knows what), but I have a bet with my "brother" (i.e. unrelated Siciliano with same last name as me) that I will get accepted to a certain dream school and that he will not (the flip side of course is that he thinks he will get accepted and i will not). The clincher is that while I am half-terrone and half-mexican, he is half-terrone and half-puerto rican. From what I understand, we will both be getting a boost, as we both identify with both cultures, but he claims that he will be getting a larger one. I am relatively sure that we both do not get as high a boost as african/black-americans, but I had assumed that our boosts would be equal. So in conclusion, my questions are:
1. Checking both Mexican and white/European=URM boost?
2. Is Puerto Rican boost higher than Mexican boost?
Thanks in advance, and P.S. I still plan on winning regardless
2. Depends on the school and their demographics, but there's not likely to be a large difference.
