[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's to stop a kid from lying about income to College Board? Many kids may not actually even know an accurate answer.[/quote]

I would tell my child things not to report unless it was mandatory.  I don’t want to give my kid a HHI number anyway. [/quote]

Did you read the article? They are using the median income of your neighborhood, not your family income.[/quote]

Nope. The article is behind a paywall. If you insist on posting paywall articles, please give enough info for people to discuss, or at the very least, don’t get snarky when they don’t know. I pay for the NYT and WaPo. I’m not also paying for the WSJ to participate in this discussion.

I know you already self report stuff like parents education. [/quote]

I didn't post the article and found a link to another article that wasn't behind a paywall. Read or do some research before you post.[/quote]

Not the way that works. Post a link to the non paywall site.  If people don’t read it, then you can snark. But, everyone trying to comment shouldn’t have to scour the internet looking for a source.

BtW— I did research before posting and found nonpaywall sites. They all quote from the WSJ, but none of them specifically said income was by neighborhood rather than self reported, which is what OO is snarking about.

Post a link people can access to what you want to discuss. Then we can all be on the same page. Easy.

WSJ gives you zero free articles. [/quote]

I found this in 10 second searching: [b] "Family environment will assess what the median income is of where the student's family is from; whether the student is from a single parent household; the educational level of the parents; and whether English is a second language."[/b]

How will the college board know,this information? Will kids be required to supply it?  If so, how would the College Board verify it?  I hate to say it, but I think I would tell my kids to lie about our HHI. This shit has gone too far. [/quote]
