You can't leave off JD. Not an option.

I would go further, I don't think most should want to hide that. Do not underestimate the importance of likelihood of yield as well as likelihood of continuing college through graduation, both due to money and due to educational expectations/values.[/quote]

Not to mention parents that might be more likely to participate in events and programs related to the job search, including internships.  I would assume you would want a school to know an applicant was from an educated family and thus more likely to graduate and be active in university programs.[/quote]

it depends on how strong the profile of the applicant is. for a strong applicant, sure - your reasoning holds.

if its a reach or kid is in lower quartile of applicants, it might not make sense - raises more questions than answers.

these blanket answers are not nuanced.[/quote]
