PhD application: my country isn't listed I'm from Palestine (or West Bank). Now I'm applying to Boston University (the deadline unfortunately is just  a few hours from now), and my country is not listed in their online application.

What can I do? There is not even an "others" option listed. Could I safely choose the nearest country to mine (Jordan), where incidentally I had earned my B.A. degree from? Or is that stupid to do? I can't call Boston directly now because their offices are closed now.

Should I forget about Boston University? (I did that, sadly, with UCLA for the same reason). But I really care about this school and I already sent both my GREs to them.



EDIT:
I have both Palestinian and Jordanian passports, in both of them my homeland is Palestine. I don't hold an Israeli passport or citizenship.



UPDATE:I submitted an application and followed it with an email explaining the issue. I'm still waiting for a response.
The United States does not recognize the statehood of Palestine (meaning technically that can't be your home country as far as that government is concerned), which makes it somewhat unsurprising that an American university might not have it listed as a country.

The Department and School likely doesn't have a particular stance on the issue - they probably didn't even design the application. Of course the ideal option would be to call them, but as this isn't an option at the moment, I'd put something close (Jordan - which as you mention you hold a passport for) and then call them to clarify as soon as you are able to do so.

Also, as this is clearly a recurring problem, you should seriously consider finding out if a given school's application has this problem well before it is due.
