Hello All,

I have a general question regarding the optional fields in AACOMAS.
How important is it to include these? Some of them I don't find very relevant/beneficial, or I would be more comfortable not including.

Examples include...
-My social security number
-Parents occupations
-Parents level of education

If I leave these blank and submit, will this reflect negatively on my application in any way?

Thanks in advance.
 
Also, one additional question as to where I should place something.

I have been awarded several Teaching Assistantships over the years, and they have all been paid positions through the university.

These should be listed under "work experience", right?
