Are you guys filling out ' Disadvantaged Status ' portion even if you're not disadvantaged?

There's only a couple of questions that are actually required for this section. Just wondering for the people that don't consider them disadvantaged are you going to still fill out the other questions like the one that asks for income or the one that asks for a description of your childhood residence?

Leave it blank unless you are actually disadvantaged

Yes, I filled out the other questions and just left the disadvantaged portion blank.

Was that even on the application last cycle? If it was, I probably left it blank because I don't remember answering that question and I did perfectly fine for interviews/acceptances.

I'm near-sighted *and* my mom stopped paying my cell phone bill

Is there a double disadvantaged box I can check?

I believe this section was there last cycle, but it specifically said to just leave it blank if you felt you were not seriously disadvantaged.

Ugh all the blank boxes bother me lol! Especially the one that asks for a description of my childhood residence

I checked disadvantaged applicant because I went through hell for the last 3 years (I am Syrian..) if you had childhood challenges then I don't think they really care about that, they want to see that despite the recent challenges, you have still excelled in your school work and did many ECs/research/shadowing/work...
