You forgot to italicize Virginia Law Review, n00b.

This isn't Dead Space. You need to shoot this thread in the head to keep it down.

I have a similar question.

I am the son of an African monarch (I don't want to say which one) and I grew up in the royal palace, and went to Oxford. I have been living in America for a few years as ambassador.
Am I AA? I'm not exactly American.

Well, that's practically good enough for the T10.

Retake? Or go and transfer? Should I do a poll?

Just thought I'd throw it out there, why not check African American and white? Then all bases are covered for a white American with ancestry from the African continent. Also, I hope this thread gets locked, it keeps taking up prime real estate on the front page.

Flame?

If you're not a flame, then are you from Sub-Saharan Africa? If yes, then you're AA for all intents and purposes of law school admissions.

rgndvo wrote:#2 is kind of out of left field. I have no problem with the bar comparing undergraduate records with LS apps and asking questions to see if a person misrepresented his ethnicity. But if a Libyan has checked the box his whole life and genuinely identifies with AA, what's the deal?

OP has already said he's been previously checking "other", not "AA". That's the deal.

Alas, this thread does need to die now.
