[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was struck by the parents' comment, too.

I think no college is a PLUS because every school wants first gen now that it is part of the criteria for US News,

I think parent professions are shorthand for financial need/full pay since need-blind schools aren't looking at the numbers.[/quote]

The podcast also mentioned parent’s career and income level. They had an abbreviation for middle class as “mid – mid “. And then they had another abbreviation of “NN” to me no need.

More than anything I think every little bit of information you were disclosing in the common app is used in some way, shape or form. I think that not only includes your professional information but also the parents educational information, and/or siblings education information. It’s not random or extraneous information. It’s actually part of their quick 6 minute assessment. Almost like a snap judgment about your family life, your financial well-being, your commitment to education and how much drive or ambition you have been instilled in your children.[/quote]
