College Application

Do colleges verify where parents went to college? It just seems so irrelevant unless your the first in your family to go to college.

Yeah it asks where your parents went to school on some part of the app. I remember when I filled it out they didn’t have my parents’ colleges because they didn’t go to college here so I just typed in the names of the colleges despite no suggestions popping up. I think it’s kinda stupid too, I guess they want a family background on which to compare your achievements.
