[quote=Anonymous]One thing to take into consideration is that the applications ask a lot of questions about us parents. My DD is half Indian and half white, and she was just going to put "mixed race" and be done. However, her dad's name is obviously Indian, but not only that, he went to undergrad in India, and the applications all require that you put down where your parents went to college. DD also wrote things in her essays that clearly indicated she grew up with her Indian grandparents living in our home. I think it made for a rich narrative of who she was and her essays were really strong. So there are a lot of other places on the applications where it is very difficult to hide your heritage. But DD also did just fine and is going to a top 20 school. Kids should be honest about who they are - I think that's what pays off in the end because schools want to get to know them for who they are, not who they think the schools want them to be. [/quote]
