What happened in high school stays in high school.When I was around 16 I held a few jobs for a couple of years that I got paid under the table for (cash) and since I actually held these jobs for a few years I wanted to include them on my work/experience section of my application. My family doesn't make much money and I was planning on applying for financial aid packages (if I get accepted) but was afraid that putting these jobs while having no tax returns to back them up would put me at risk or get me in trouble.
Have any of you put jobs you haven't filed taxes for on your applications before, and did anything ever come up with AMCAS/medical schools denying you financial aid packages or anything?
Thank you.
Go ahead and list them.The thing is, I'm a high school dropout and I worked these jobs after I left high school but before I started college. Should I still list them?
I don't have 15 activities so I wouldn't have to cut anything for this, but as stated above I'm a high school drop out and I think conveying that I actually did some work while I was out of high school is better than saying I did nothing. But since my jobs were off the books I'm a bit worried of getting in some sort of trouble.
