<p>On my UCs and Stanford apps I said that my family earns <$30k (my mom told me so), but I just saw their 07 tax returns and we earn slightly above $30k. Should I contact admissions and tell them about it? </p>
<p>We'll be earning less than what we did this year compared to last year, but I don't think it'll go under $30k.</p>
<p>in my opinion, honesty works best. i would contact them. tell them you just got your tax returns.</p>
<p>even so, at the end of the day its your choice. consult with your parents too.</p>
<p>Yeah, it shouldn't make much time, and I'm sure they'd appreciate the honesty (and understand the situation).</p>
<p>What's the best way to contact them? Email? Phone? If I email, what should I put in the title and in the letter itself? It's my first time contacting admissions telling something about myself.</p>
<p>i would call.
this is a sentive issue and i feel that human contact (even if its over the phone) makes a difference.</p>
<p>call and ask for an admission officer. simply explain the situation and then ask to correct what it says on ur application.
i always call my schools for questions (response is immediate, i hate to wait for email responses) and the admission officers are usually incredibly helpful.</p>
