<p>The info on the application regarding parents’ occupations, education, income, and family size is optional, but how does the info hurt/help the application if entered? Is leaving this part blank OK? Thank you for your help!</p>
<p>It helps if you are from a low income family. If your parents didn't go to college. If your parents are divorced. I don't think it would hurt anything to fill it up.</p>
<p>It will probably also help with financial aid later on.</p>
