I'm sure bi-racial candidates respond/check boxes as needed. If it doesn't apply to you, don't worry about it! :)

Also, no need for two separate postings of one thread.

Because if a school has any possibility of being able to claim that you are a URM, they'll count you as such. If not, they won't.
