[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much value does being Hispanic (without evidence of the attendant hardships of being a recent immigrant) still have? Do admissions officers still just want to check the box, so a rich kid who claims to have some Spanish speaking background is fine, or are they looking for authentically disadvantaged Spanish speaking types?[/quote] None. I've been Latina my whole life and it has never conferred any advantages or disadvantages. I continue to check the box for statistical purposes. There are millions upon millions of latino/hispanic folks who are not "authentically disadvantaged."[/quote] I’m sure it helped when you applied for colleges. [/quote]
