UC app: family income

<p>dont very high incomes hurt?</p>

<p>should u not put income if it is above a certain amount? what would this amount be ?</p>

<p>they are gonna find out about your income eventually when you apply for financial aid. Isn't the income part optional???</p>

<p>Hurt what? Having a high income will impact on amount of need based financial aid you can get. It has no adverse impact on admission.</p>

<p>To a certain degree. If Cal or UCLA were to choose two students with similar academic records but one came from a low income home, the university is more inclined to choose that student.</p>

<p>I spoke to a former admis. Officers and she told me that UC's are now starting to look for kids that have excelled with limited resources. </p>

<p>If you have a high income I really don't if t hurts or not.</p>
