Shouldn't you be able to check both off?

As a rule of thumb, you should mark what you feel you are/define by.
(That was an odd wording. Essentially, mark off whatever choice you identify by and are comfortable with.)

On the applications I've seen, it says something to the effect of "check one or more" races. So you can check both black and white.

Nothing to be ashamed of asking. Your job in the application process is to let the school know who you are both as a person and as a professional. So part of who you are is biracial so def mark down what is applicable in most cases you can check off more than one. The value add comes less from just the dearth of being a black male but in the diverse experiences you most likely have from your background and how that has influences some of your life experiences so make sure you tell that story. We have tons of great consultants at Veritas Prep (including me) who specialize in candidates with diverse profiles so let us know if we can be of service to you.

Hope this helps!

Check off which ever will help you the most.

If i am not mistaken in this case, being black you can be part of the consortium application thing?
