I'm not sure why she changed her ethnicity at various law schools applications from Caucasian to Native American? other than to attempt to get (not necessarily receive) direct benefits?
She didn't change "her ethnicity at various law schools applications".
And she got nothing from anyone as a minority. She didn't get into college, she didn't get any jobs, she didn't get any government benefits as a minority.

She tried and that is wrong. A native American is a minority and she is not a minority, she is a white woman.
She is not, she lied and only the dumbest people in our society believed her. Now those same dumb people are doubling down with these test results. It's embarrassing.
The dumb people are the ones who don't understand the science and are pretending that they do, so that they can dismiss the test results.
Then why did she ever have to bring up NA ancestry? She did it so Trump grabbed on to it.
If a white person was 1/32 black and they put down somewhere they are black, they should and would not be taken seriously.
I don't believe she ran on it. It was not part of her politics. Trump made it political, the worm that he is ...
She is from Oklahoma, and the odds are very good that a person from Oklahoma can have some native American ancestry and not even be aware of it. If Trump actually understood the American people and our history he would not have assumed anything and taken a swipe at her, especially considering what state she is from.
I sometimes report as mixed race, when that is an option, because I too am part native American. My Cherokee ancestors escorted travelers along the Natchez Trace, and integrated into white society and owned farms in Mississippi (and later Louisiana) before the removal of the tribe to the west, so they were not included. I am (quite justifiably) proud of them, but they are a small part of my ancestry and people wouldn't know it to look at me. I am sure that many of my cousins do not even know about this part of their own background.
Native American ancestry is much more common among white Americans, especially from the south, than most people realize.
Trump, who is German and Scottish of very recent origin, is out of his depth to criticize the rest of us whose families have been here for so long, our roots run deep in the land.

That's exactly what John King of CNN said verbatim. You calling CNN fake news?
