Hi all! I started my app for a career-changer today and wanted to know what I should put as a Filipino. People have told me to just put Asian, just Pacific Islander, and also to check both boxes. I noticed some schools consider Filipinos URMs along with viets and Hmongs. And, if that’s case for this school, should I click asian AND Pacific Islander? I just want to make it clear what most of you all think?

Yes

Sorry, to follow that up. I haven’t actually checked what most of my schools consider as URM. However for those apps with no specificity (like some have under the asians option in parentheses that this includes those from the Philippine Islands). I can put asian and PI right?

Filipinos are not generally considered "Pacific Islanders."
This is used to indicate indigenous applicants from Guam, American Samoa and Hawaii.
