I looked it up, and this is what came up.

Egyptians are considered North African, and the user is unsure if they are also considered Middle Eastern for categorization purposes.

The "Middle Eastern origin" clarification is present on the Common App under "White" but absent on other forms like the SAT/ACT.

Hope this helps!
