Help regarding disclosing immigration status in additional information
Hellooo!
This will be my first post in general tbh im honestly just looking for help and hopefully no racists interact with this post. I'm heading into my senior year soon and currently working through common app T_T.
Anyway, I'm currently in the process of drafting up my personal essay and I'm going through suggestions for as what might be applicable for additional information and I noticed they didn't include immigration status (which makes sense). My parents did come here disregarding the legal immigration process and I am a natural born U.S citizen for context. But the legal status of my parents has heavily impacted my life as it's the reason I had to move states across the U.S (not bc of ice or anything, its other stuff that isn't worth explaining, this was 3-4 years ago) and just the way I grew up in general.
So! the question itself is it safe to mention this in my common app? This is very important to me bc of recent events with ice so so crazy and I really want to ensure that the legal status of my parent will not be disclosed to the authorities in anyway if I were choose to mention this in my application. Would anyone happen to be informed of certain policies or procedures set for these kind of circumstances like whether Common app is allowed to share information like that or is this just a silly post I'm not sure ): .
Thank you for reading, I'm open to any clarifying questions! But for those wondering yes I would heavily prefer to be able talk about this in my application as it is a very important of my life, so please let me know if this would be safe.
