<p>what would happen if you unkowingly put the wrong amount of money your parents make? like you put $50,000 and then found out they made $100,000 a year. Would UCLA reject you for that?</p>
<p>money has no impact on UC admissions, itll only f'k u over for the FAFSA when you are trying to get aid.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>you should be aware of your parents' financial situation</p>
<p>50k->100k is a big difference</p>
<p>if you put the amount of money on the UC app the admissions officers will look at it in a whole different way.</p>
<p>just be honest</p>
<p>I believe the only reason that the UCs want to put income on the app is to gauge whether you're low-income enough to warrant an application fee waiver. Otherwise, no.</p>
<p>but wouldn't this new holistic admissions approach by ucla look more closely at applicants whose families don't make a lot of money?</p>
<p>It makes no difference at all. It is optional on the application in any event. And I don't think every student knows what their parents are actually making. Some parents disclose this information; others keep it close to the vest. Also, keep in mind that financial situations can change from day to day. A parent who has been home taking care of the kids throughout elementary, junior and high school, may suddenly decide to get a life (a life, that is, outside of taking care of children, no offense intended) and get a job. The parent may have been a psychologist or a lawyer or some professional that tends to make a decent living. Situations change. Why would it be any different with a student guessing how much their parents make than a situation where suddenly a parent is earning extra income or got a huge pay raise?</p>
<p>i would think that parents disclose their salaries when it comes to college applications/related things</p>
<p>i stand corrected</p>
<p>:rolleyes:</p>
<p>what's this new holistic admissions approach i keep hearing about?</p>
<p>how does it differ from their approach before?</p>
