My family is very poor. Both of my parents are sick and one of them is unemployed and in another country (he is legit sick and legit unemployed…). I am a Chinese male. Would it be appropriate to include the family income on the Common App so they could maybe understand my rather decent grades and meh SAT scores for the schools I’m applying to? Or is this not appropriate? I haven’t done that for most of the schools i turned my apps into. I have a few apps left to turn in.
Thanks.
