Very urgent uc app questions!

Applying to College

<p>Hi, I need some advice on the UC App. Qs arent as long as they look. I am NOT going to be needeing financial aid at all and I come from a pretty affluent family, so keep that in mind:</p>

<p>so should i fill out the parts about family income and size that are not required (if they see that i come from a 350K+ family, would it hurt me if i filled it out)?</p>

<p>also should i fill out the parts about my parent's education (both went to grad school; so couldnt that hurt me)?</p>

<p>Basically the gist of what I am trying to ask is this: I come from a 350K+ family income size. Both of my parents are professionals with grad school education. I know that colleges will expect more from a kid in my econ status. THe UC does not require me to fill the info. So basically, should I include any of these optional parts regarding econ status? Should i bother with any optional parts on the UC APP (like CA SID number) If I dont fill out optional parts, could that hurt my chances (i know ppl say to give UC a complete picture of urself) By not giving UC stuff like CA SID Number (not required) make the UC think I'm lazy?</p>

<p>THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>It's optional for a reason. You get to choose whether or not you want to do it.</p>

<p>I highly doubt that they would hold it against you for not filling out an optional portion of the application</p>

<p>Don't put them, it won't help you. The income part is helpfu if you come from low income.</p>

<p>I think all of the personal information is removed by the time the readers get a hold of the applications. Still, I wouldn't list it if I were you.</p>

<p>ColumbiaStudent is correct. The income info is requested so the UCs can give admissions bonus points to low income applicants, and fee waivers to low-low income apps. Since you are neither, just ignore the income section. OTOH, there is no harm of putting down parental degree.</p>
