ReadyToRoll:

There are a lot of questions in the common app. that are optional, such as parents education level/schools attended, names of siblings, etc.

Is there a reason that one should or should not fill these sections out…besides obviously doing so if you are applying to a school at which one parent is an alum?

Thanks!



This question was posted but never answered, and I’d like to know the answer too.

My questions:

1. When listing ap scores, is it necessary to list subscores for ap calc and ap music theory, or can I just list the main score?

2. Theres a place that asks for any college courses taken. I’m going to be taking calc II and calc III at gatech senior year. Should I list them if I haven’t taken them yet?

3. In the honors section, would national honor society and national science honor society be considered national level or school level?

Thanks!
