When I was filling out my app, I said that I did not consider myself to be disadvantaged and now all of a sudden AMCAS is like, "No, you are disadvantaged." And maybe technically, according to their SES scheme, I suppose I am. One of my parents got laid off from their job years ago and has been on unemployment, the other one works an unskilled clerical job. But... I'm in my thirties. When I was growing up, we were solid upper middle class and my father had a very nice tech job. There were no disadvantages that stood in the way of my education or opportunities.
So I guess what I'm saying here is that I feel dishonest about being labeled SES 02 by AMCAS. Can I change it? Should I just not worry about it? Is this going to help my app?
