<p>do schools do background checks on the parents when considering admission decisions?</p>
<p>We answered this in Parents Forum: No. The colleges are admitting you, not your parents. They don’t do background checks on parents. </p>
<p>When it comes to admission, the schools don’t care about your parents’ bankruptcy. What the schools will care about after you’ve accepted their admissions offer is whether your parents pay your college bills. If not, you won’t be able to go to college or will be kicked out. So, make sure you’re applying to some colleges that you know will accept you and you’ll be able to afford.</p>
