[quote=Anonymous]Last year, we put down all advanced degrees of parents. But, for occupation we clicked 'other' and inserted language that more accurately defined our work. Otherwise, we would have seemed more affluent and more successful than we are. The AO sees all info on the common app, and I personally believe AO expectations for kids are measured against parents education and occupation - and the assumption of financial resources, guidance, and access. I have also heard that it's OK to show success/wealth bc schools want full pay and future donors. My DH thinks I overthink things but this is a process that vulnerable to human bias. Kid was accepted ED to their super reach and who knows if that parent data mattered or not? On the topic of intended major, my kid chose something totally unrelated to our jobs.[/quote]
