> I'm a high school senior of punjabi/white descent, and I fully intend to mark my race as Hispanic.
Go ahead - it will definitely backfire. I actually could mark that when I applied (I consider myself white, they would consider me hispanic) and I chose not to, kinda gross that you would lie on your application to get ahead of your peers - why not make up an extra-curricular while you're at it?
And wouldn't it make you feel worse to know that you are at a school because you cheated to get ahead?
