<p>would a college admission office research the parents before deciding whether to accept a student? I am worried that a pending foreclosure suit or a judgment against the parent might hurt the child's chances to be admitted to a college or university</p>
<p>Ha yeah right…like they have resources to do that. They don’t even run background checks on students…why would they do that on parents?</p>
<p>The foreclosure won’t hurt when it comes to admission. What’s to worry about, though, is whether the parents will be able to afford college. I hope the student has at least one financial safety that they know they’ll be admitted to and can afford.</p>
<p>Yes, I agree. You may have to file a special circumstances form with all the colleges financial aid departments because your parents income has changed drastically. Be sure to choose your colleges carefully.</p>
<p>The foreclosure would not have any impact on admissions, but it would have an impact on their ability to potentially help with paying for or financing a college education or to co-sign a loan that you take out.</p>
