Probably not the most "ethical" thing to do but I don't see that many adcoms having a problem with it (if they are not initially driven away because of your classification). Your numbers make you competitive with average students and by listing yourself as a URM might make you more attractive to schools. If you identify as African American that school can add you to its URM list and now boast it has 18% URM's in its class instead of 15%. It helps rather than hurts the school
