<p>Does Harvard get a sense of your family's income WITH a student's application? I thought financial aid forms were dealt separately.</p>
<p>yes they do.</p>
<p>1) parents’ profession and education level
2) HS profile includes Free/reduced lunch %, college attendance %, HS grad % – this indicates the community demographics
3) your essay about skiing in the Alps or your 8 years of travel soccer, etc.</p>
<p>But don’t worry. H is the richest college on the planet with accompanying ridiculous Fin Aid. When they say they are need-blind, this is one place where you can 100% believe them.</p>
