Hello sdn,
I just want to start off saying that I am NOT a troll and this question is asked with all seriousness. Yes, I know this is my first post--plz don't mistaken me for a troll. I'm a long time SDN viewer, first time poster. This questions led me to make an account. Moving on:
My questions is should I apply URM. I have attached a picture of myself.
Details of my ethnicity:
My mom is of middle eastern Origin (Turkey)
My Father is of African American origin.
Okay, so now you know that I am a URM. Great. But I want adcoms to see it. Do you think by the way I look in the picture that adcoms will be sure that I am indeed half African american. Or should I completely avoid suspicions and apply as white?
My name is Muslim by the way.
I do want the URM boost, but I do not want the interviews to go wrong--especially at schools like howard.
I need your opinion.
