Okay, this has been bugging me since early September: in part one of the application, where MIT asks for your parents education, is it okay to put “B.S. and M.S.” under “degree”? Both of my parents received their degrees from Moscow State University, I’m just worried that the date that I put will be confusing because it is unclear whether or not it refers to the B.S. or M.S.

Also, for the professional or graduate school, is it okay to put Ph.D. in ______ or is it better to just put ______?

I’m trying not to leave much to blame in case I get rejected come March.

Thanks!
