<p>I am contemplating entering my mother and fathers work and income. How big of a deal is it to leave this part blank? Step 3.</p>
<p>It won't affect you at all.</p>
<p>thats not truse. If you come from a below average background and you achieve the same as someone who didn't theyll place you higher. I spoke directly to a UC admissions advisor.</p>
<p>I left that part off when I applied last year. My parents, who have nothing to do with my education at this point in my life (I'm 28) earn an above average income. </p>
<p>The question I asked myself was "What good can come from listing their income?" Since the answer to that question was "nothing, but it can potentially be bad for you" I decided to leave it blank.</p>
