Is it really so hard to just decide to be honest?

Schools need to pay the bills and having parents who went through advanced schooling also shows a kid is likely to graduate. I hav a PhD, my husband has a MD - our daughter was accepted to every need aware school she applied to and was given merit at each too. Maybe your kid will be disadvantaged at Harvard, but it help them score merit at schools like Santa Clara, Holy Cross, Syracuse, etc.


Agree w/ this

I hope this is a joke. Then we wonder why kids cheat... You are an awful parent if you think this is cool.

Perhaps I’m wrong, but my understanding is that the schools pick which of the common app information they see. In which case no one knows what information the schools look at and for what purpose. Just fill the damn thing out and move on.

I'm confused. Are you the applicant? Or does the common app have a place for parents to fill out. I thought it was all student completed?
