[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue with listing pay to play on applications is that it reveals privilege. There's no problem with partaking in them. Your kid may find it educational and enriching and an opportunity to grow. No one will begrudge them for participating. It's just not impressive from an admissions standpoint. Some AOs will turn their nose up if applicants treat them as if they are accomplishments when they are mostly something mom and dad bought for them. But no one minds if the kid participates in them.[/quote] They already know parent income via FAFSA, parent occupation, and high school kid attends. With any combination of that info they know how “privileged” an applicant is, even with seeing zero activities[/quote]
