Medical What MCAT ethnicity/race question should I select when selecting schools?

[Goro]

Hello,

My MCAT is in a range where 1-3 points really makes a difference among schools. My ethnicity/race is 100% Latino and not from one of the countries typically considered "URM" by some other threads I saw on SDN. When constructing my school list, a lot of schools have a 1-3 or even higher point disparity between Latino/Hispanic vs. Whites which would honestly make some schools reach/match depending on whether I classify myself as white or Latino/Hispanic.

My question is whether I should base my school list off of the Latino/Hispanic median GPA/MCAT or White. If it matters, in the past (e.g. college admissions and in general) I usually put myself as "Hispanic/Latino" then race "White."

Go with white.

If you speak Spanish and/or have significant volunteering with Hispanic communities, that may change a few things in your favor.

I can advise on school list if you provide your stats. PM me.

Base your list of the "white" MCAT/GPA numbers.
