[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do you draw the line at reporting something super-expensive (sailing, pilot's license, climbing internationally, equestrian)? Or other things that just say "I'm rich" (unpaid internships, especially ones where you have to be connected -- banks, senators, etc.)? [/quote] Are you talking about essays or listing activities? The college will know if the parents have money between zip code, if applying ED (likely full pay), possibly the high school. So at that point are you rich and idle or rich and involved in a passion like equestrian, sailing etc.? Now with the essay they may be trying to figure out more of who you are an individual and how you will contribute as a person to their college community. This where there could be a fine line to not come off as entitled or parents having money being your whole personality trait.[/quote]
