Mixed, which status gives larger boost? Forum

Hello,

I'm of a mixed racial background and as such I'm wondering would it be more beneficial to put Hispanic or African-American on my applications?

You put both AA and Hispanic because that is what you are. Your AA side will give you the larger boost, however.

Thanks for the advice, after many years I still am troubled by this question.

There is no reason to be troubled.

You check the boxes you honestly identify with. It's really quite simple. Good luck!

Agreed, no reason to fret about this issue. Check both because that's who you are. I'm half MA, half AA and have always checked both boxes.

AA is single digit representation or less at law schools. It is a stronger boost.

If you are a half-African American and half-white male, does it detract from your African American male profile for JD admissions to mark both?
