[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can enter whatever you like. The schools won't see it during the review process. But there is some chance they will see it if/when your kid is offered admission. At that point the question is "Who did you lie too?"  Was it to the school or to the third party? And does it matter?

Go ahead and find out. If offers start getting rescinded then we'll know[/quote]
so, OP should put Black/African American, and see what happens.  Then if they get caught, they say, "Oh, oops, we must've fat fingered, and didn't pay attention since SCOTUS ruling indicated that race cannot be a factor".

then see what happens.[/quote]

You are not listening.  Colleges do not play around with that, at all, and excuses are not accepted.  Colleges know that this is a hot topic, and act accordingly - they are not stupid, they will throw your kid out of school, with a notation on their transcript (there is a term for it - essentially lying on a pertinent application document).  No lawyer in the world will get you out of lying on the application documents, but you can certainly pay thousands to try. You will not get into another school and/or your diploma will be rescinded.

But have at it![/quote]
