<p>Do colleges check to verify whether your parents received a degree in the colleges that they attended? My mother attended a university and has a degree in domestics in Korea, but that isn't exactly considered as a "major" in the United States.. she didn't receive an academic education, so I'm not sure if it's worth writing it down. She's a homemaker, by the way.</p>
<p>I understand that the more educational background your parents have, the more disadvantage the admission officers have against you..? Just something I heard... (Hence my paranoia)</p>
