<p>Hi, sorry for asking what may seem like a cut-and-dry question but this has really been bugging me. For the part of the application under Family Data that asks for the annual income for my parents in 2007, is that an approximation for the year since this year isn't done yet? Or am I missing something? I'm a dependent student, by the way.</p>

<p>This has really been bothering me because I've heard of applicants getting nailed in the past for random checks of authenticity on their applications that they couldn't back up. I would really hate to not get admitted simply because I didn't understand something properly. :p</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I think it's basically an approximation...meaning that most likely your parents incomes have not changed drastically between the year 2006 and 2007
unless you won the lottery.
I think they mean the income in a more general sense because they want o know how much you can afford to spend on tuition.</p>

<p>Yeah, I figured it would be an approximation and that's what I put down. That's good enough, I guess. Thank you.</p>
